I only use this way to make crafting recipes:

 

//Blaze Hammer
	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (MAItems.BlazeHammer),
			new Object [] {
					"BBB",
					"BAB",
					" A ",
					'A', Items.fire_charge,
					'B', Items.blaze_rod
					});

 

(As an example)

 

Is there a way so I can craft items using their ItemID's, I need this for spawn eggs because the metadata is a long process to find out.

Use string names for the spawners.

Also get rid of the 'new Object[]{}' stuff.

And no, you should never use IDs.

Not spawners I mean spawn eggs, I'm using it like this:

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 383),
			new Object [] {
					"  A",
					"  A",
					"  A",
					'A', Items.diamond,
	});

 

And so far have found most but not all the spawner eggs numbering, this is probably the worst way to do this, if so what way should I bet doing it for the eggs?

Sorry I should have put in the title, I'm using 1.8.9

Is there no way to craft using item ids? since one egg is 383:50 and another 383:51, etc? Also I went through a lot of trial and error (to find the eggs) going like this:

 

//GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 90), 			Spawn Egg - 'Spawn Pig'
	//GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 91), 			Spawn Egg - 'Spawn Sheep'

 

And now I'm on "(Items.spawn_egg,1, 427)," and still haven't found them all

Like Creeper = 50?

Yeah just checking because that doesn't work either?

Is this how it should be?

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Items.spawn_egg, 1, 50),
			new Object [] {
					"A  ",
					"A  ",
					"A  ",
					'A', Items.iron_ingot,
	});

That wasn't said at all in this thread... and the spaces work for everything else... but okay I'll try that

Nope removing the spaces did nothing?

That I still can't do a crafting recipe using a spawner egg of a specific type?

Stop, just stop.

This isn't hard.

Your result is a itemstack with a NBT string set to the entity name

So make that item stack.

Then make your recipe using that stack as the result.
