Hello,

 

I'm having trouble with my addSmelting recipe. I'm making an item that's supposed to give a bit more xp than other vanilla items, but I can't seem to get more than 1 xp from smelting my item.

 

It seems:

GameRegistry.addSmelting(input, output, 500.0f);

 

gives the same amount of xp as:

GameRegistry.addSmelting(input, output, 1.0f);

 

How can I get more than 1 xp per smelted item?

 

Thanks!

You can't.

 

The number is not "how much experience to drop per smelt" it is "what is the probability of dropping 1 experience per smelt."

 

You would need to use events to drop more.

I looked for events but couldn't find one for furnace stuff. Are there events for furnace interaction? Or did you mean something else with the events?

Set it to drop 0 experience, then drop the experience manually in

PlayerEvent.ItemSmeltedEvent

.

 

Aha! well.. almost. Is there a way to see, in ItemSmeltedEvent, what item was smelted?

My custom item smelts into coal, there's event.smelting.getItem() which gives coal but how do I see what smelted into this coal?

 

Granted, vanilla doesn't have anything that smelts into coal but another mod might, so I don't want to simply check if coal was taken out of the furnace, I want to make sure it was smelted from my custom item.

 

Surely there's a way to see this?

Apparently not, just looked at the call stack for it.  The only thing passed to the event is the player and the result stack.

Hahaha, I was going to do something simple for my first mod, to get into modding. Turns out it can't be done (or at least not easily) .

Ah well, I'll do something else

 

Thanks for the help!

If you smelted to a custom item then you'd be able to tell.  But yeah, smelting isn't supposed to give you a lot of exp.
