Making an Infinite crafting item?

[FallingFist]

Hey there!

 

So I've recently been creating a new mod consisting all of those things I've always wanted in vanilla minecraft.

 

I'm now trying to make an item, which doesn't vanish when you craft with it (Similar to the Minium Stone/ Philosopher's Stone in EE3).

 

Where would I insert it, and how. I've tried the following code in the item class:

 

    public boolean doesContainerItemLeaveCraftingGrid(ItemStack itemStack) {

 

        return false;

 

which I got from browsing the Open Source of EE3.

 

I'm sorry if this is a noob mistake

 

Thanks!

hello.

 

bevor you start to modding read a java book to learn to understand what minecraft does. than read the whole block files and the whole item files.

you can do it but you do not must.

 

here is the answer you question:

 

put this there where the item is (public static Item whatever)

 

itemname.setContainerItem(itemname);

at the bucket it looks like this:

 

bucketLava.setContainerItem(emptyBucket);

the lavabucket will transform into a empty bucket after crafting.

but if you are doing this:

 

diamond.setContainerItem(diamond);

 

every time you craft something with a diamond the diamond will not be used.

 

i hope it help.

Thanks, I'll try it out. I'm considering buying a Java book.
