In the past I did it by calling GameRegistry.addRecipe(...) and passed the ShapelessOreRecipe. The method no longer exists. I have tried registering a recipe like one normally would, but creating a ShapelessOreRecipe and then getting the ingredients with

shapelessOreRecipe.getIngredients()

 

one by one. Didn't work. I also tried

 

CraftingHelper.getIngredient()

 

with the string of the ore recipe. Didn't work either.

 

How would I go about it?

There are a lot of threads related to recipes in 1.12 on this subforum that you could quickly find. Create a valid json that is your recipe and put it in assets/%modid%/recipes. And you are done - forge will load the recipe for you automatically. See this thread for more info. Also here is the initial gist that shows the basic syntax and the ideas behind the json recipe system.

I don't understand. It still doesn't work. I am talking about OreDictionary recipes. The following was no success with JSON:

 

{
  "type": "forge:shapeless_ore",
  "group": "magenta_dye",
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "item": "dyeMagenta"
    },
    {
      "item": "dyeWhite"
    }
  ],
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:dye",
    "data": 6,
    "count": 2
  }
}

 

I get JsonSyntaxException: Unknown recipe type: forge:shapeless_ore. I understand then that there is no such thing as type forge:shapeless_ore. But then, what is there to use OreDictionary recipes?

It is forge:ore_shapeless, not forge:shapeless_ore

Thank you. That solved it. The final recipe looks like so

 

{
  "type": "forge:ore_shapeless",
  "group": "magenta_dye",
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "type": "forge:ore_dict",
      "ore": "dyeWhite"
    },
    {
      "type": "forge:ore_dict",
      "ore": "dyeMagenta"
    }
  ],
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:dye",
    "data": 6,
    "count": 2
  }
}
