[1.12] can I rely on GameRegistry crafting?

[Socratic_Phoenix]

As I understand it, 1.12 recipes should primarily be done through JSON, however, due to the nature of my mod, this isn't possible. I have to have at least one custom IRecipe implementation. The problem is, this implementation is not a generic recipe, and would only be initialized once. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to use JSON to declare a single recipe with no properties. Therefore, my question is, can I continue to rely on registering the recipe in GameRegistry/CraftingManager, or can I expect those methods to be removed/changed? Also (since IRecipe is now a registerable thing), would it be better to register this recipe in a RegistryEvent (is there one for recipes?)?

You can't use a GamRegistry, as it doesn't exist.

A GameRegistery though, sure.

I'm not even sure what happened there... My keyboard is being weird. Anyway, thanks!

Yes, actually it does.

Why special case shit when your recipe can be {"type": "my:custom_recipe"}

DONE!

SO HARD!

Oh... It's that simple? May as well follow convention then... Thanks

You *SHOULD* try and generic out your recipe so that others can use it or its more configurable. But yes some things are just that simple. 

Doing it via JSON only increases compatibility and configurability.
