Before you say "go look it up", here is what I have:

in "src/main/resources/assets/mocakes/recipes" I have "cake_pan.json":

{
  "type": "crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "# #",
    "###"
  ],
  "key": {
    "#": {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_nugget"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "mocakes:cake_pan"
  }
}

and "batter_plain.json":

{
  "type": "crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "ACA",
    "BEB",
    "CDC"
  ],
  "key": {
    "A": {
      "item": "minecraft:milk_bucket"
    },
    "B": {
      "item": "minecraft:sugar"
    },
    "C": {
      "item": "minecraft:wheat"
    },
    "D": {
      "item": "mocakes:cake_pan"
    },
    "E": {
      "item": "minecraft:egg"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "mocakes:batter_plain"
  }
}

NIETHER items are craftable(they ARE registered though, they appear in tab,)

I know the names are right because:

[19:59:49] [main/INFO] [STDOUT]: [mods.giantnuker.backslash.BackHandler:registerItems:179]: mocakes:cake_pan
[19:59:49] [main/INFO] [STDOUT]: [mods.giantnuker.backslash.BackHandler:registerItems:179]: mocakes:batter_plain

log for my API

 

Are there any errors in the log?

Hi,

I am far from being an experienced modder, but I think the crafting type is what is wrong here. You are using

"type": "crafting_shaped"

which is missing a domain name. What happens is: Forge (or Minecraft - not exactly sure what exactly handels the recipes) checks in your mods domain for modid:crafting_shaped which most likely does not exist. You have to use

"type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped"

in this case.

Not sure what caused it, my recipes are almost exact vanilla copies

If you get malformed JSON it means that you have something syntactically wrong, like an extra comma or missing brace somewhere. There are websites that can verify that your JSON is valid, and I use a JSON formatter plugin for Eclipse to help me make sure I did it all right. Basically you have a typo, which is easy to do in JSON files. Use a verifier and it will quickly be obvious.

Verivier said it was OK

Expected name at line 15 column 8 path

 

The json is valid JSON but it's missing a required key entry

What entry, it is almost exactly a vanilla copy, one of the minecrart recipe, one of the cake recipe?

This is a syntax error, not a missing entry.

 

Post the mopi:crafting recipe file.

I did not know there had to be a <modid>:crafting json

mopi:crafting is expanded to assets/mopi/recipes/crafting.json, the mod ID isn't included in the file name.

got confused, thought there had to be a file actully named "crafting.json"

Still not working, just figured out file path was ".../recipe/..." instead of ".../recipes/..." LOL
