[1.12] Override vanilla recipe

[DragonFerocity]

Hey guys,

 

So how do I override a vanilla recipe in 1.12? I tried overriding the recipe json file in a resource pack but it didn't work. Sorry if this is a basic question, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there for 1.12 yet that I can find.

Now that IRecipes are in a Forge registry, you can override an existing IRecipe simply by registering a new one with the same registry name.

This didn't work for me until I removed the recipe first. Unless by registering  you mean in code and not via JSON.

 

My solution:

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void registerRecipes(RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipe> event)
    {
    	ResourceLocation theButton = new ResourceLocation("minecraft:wooden_button");
        IForgeRegistryModifiable modRegistry = (IForgeRegistryModifiable) event.getRegistry();
        modRegistry.remove(theButton);
    }

JSON recipes always have your mod ID as the domain of their registry name, so they can't directly override a vanilla recipe.

 

Removing a vanilla recipe and then loading your own to replace is it possible, as you discovered.

Is there an easier way to do what I did?

Not really, the recipe removal needs to be done in code and the replacement should generally be added via JSON; so replacing recipes via the registry override system (registering a new value with the same name) usually isn't practical.

Where exactly did you put that snippet of code? Preinit or init or elsewhere?

[kreezxil]

Look at my github link that I provided. Note that above the class for the file containing this snipped it says @EventBusSubscriber. That's what tells Forge to come to the file and load up the subscriber events, ie these routines don't go in the init, preinit, or postinit. So feel free to copy my registrar.java and use it as you please. You'll probably end up with a class that looks like:

package com.mod.awesomeyour;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.IRecipe;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ModelRegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent.Register;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.IForgeRegistryModifiable;

@EventBusSubscriber
public class Registrar {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void registerRecipes(RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipe> event)
    {
    	ResourceLocation theButton = new ResourceLocation("minecraft:wooden_button");
        IForgeRegistryModifiable modRegistry = (IForgeRegistryModifiable) event.getRegistry();
        modRegistry.remove(theButton);
    }
}

that's all you need to remove the wooden button, extrapolate as necessary.

This doesn't work for me on Forge 2462, the event never fires.

Nevermind, I was using a non-static event handler and copied in a static method.
