So, as we may know, GameRegistry.register(); is not used anymore. And I have see that we use RegistryEvents to register items and blocks. Yet the only way I can find to register recipes is through GameRegistry.addRecipe. Is this still correct, or is there a new event that is used to register recipes within the game? Also, if there is no other way, when do I call the registerRecipes() function?  preInit() |  Init() |   postInit() ?

You should use json files instead of creating them in code.

Recipes are now managed by a Forge registry, so IRecipe extends IForgeRegistryEntry and instances of it should be registered in RegistryEvent.Register.

 

As Kokkie said, you should use JSON files wherever possible. You can register your own recipe, ingredient and condition factories to extend the JSON system.

Alright, I'll look for a resource that can get me started. Thanks for the replies!

I have a question about the JSON files. Do you really have to have 1 JSON file per recipe? I have this at the moment, can I add another recipe in this file?

 

{
  "type": "crafting_unshaped",
  "pattern": [
    "III",
    "III",
    "III"
  ],
  "key": {
    "I": "boe:tin_ingot"
  },
  "result": { "item": "boe:tin_block" }
}

Also, what version do JSON recipes work in? From what version onwards?

 

Cause, I have my suspicions that it is 1.12 onwards, but I'm only in version 1.11.

It's one JSON file per recipe, yes.

Ah, I missed the version in the thread title. JSON recipes and the recipe registry were added in 1.12, 1.11 still uses the old recipe list system.

 

In 1.11 and earlier, recipes should be registered in init.

Awesome thanks for the help with the registering in this version. When I move onto to 1.12 some time, now I know about the JSON capabilities, so that'll help moving forward. Gonna keep cracking on!
