[1.11] Crafting recipes that include all meta data blocks.

[Frost2779]

Is there a way I can make my crafting recipes more efficient than this? Like what the title says can I make it include certain ranges of Meta values?

 

GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.natureDust), ModItems.mysticPestle, new ItemStack(Blocks.SAPLING, 1, 1));
GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.natureDust), ModItems.mysticPestle, new ItemStack(Blocks.SAPLING, 1, 2));
GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.natureDust), ModItems.mysticPestle, new ItemStack(Blocks.SAPLING, 1, 3));
GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.natureDust), ModItems.mysticPestle, new ItemStack(Blocks.SAPLING, 1, 4));
GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.natureDust), ModItems.mysticPestle, new ItemStack(Blocks.SAPLING, 1, 5));

Awesome, thanks

What if you used just a sapling, not in an itemstack?

CraftingManager#addRecipe(ItemStack, Object...) converts Block ingredients to ItemStacks with OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE as the metadata value, but CraftingManager#addShapelessRecipe converts Block ingredients to ItemStacks with 0 as the metadata value.

 

The ore recipe constructors do the same: ShapedOreRecipe uses OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE, ShapelessOreRecipe uses 0.

Aha... My experience is with shaped recipes, so I didn't know that.

 

I wonder why the interpretations differ. Silly me, I had expected both to convert blocks the same way. In fact, had I been coding it, I would have tried to call the same method in each case, but that may just be me being old-fashioned.
