Help using OreDict for recipes and recipe type error

[Big_Bad_E]

So... I got 2 questions.

First off, for some reason when I make a recipe, I use crafting_shaped or crafting_shapeless, but I get the error "Could not find type modid:crafting_shaped." I tried using forge:crafting_shaped and still had no luck.

 

Also, how would I go about making a recipe combine item A and Item B, and return Item A with different data, if there will be multiple different items that can be used as Item A (Using OreDict). If this is possible ofc

It should be "minecraft:crafting_shaped"

You need your own IRecipe implementation.

I should of tried minecraft:, I am stupid sometimes lol

 

I haven't ever tried making my own IRecipe implementation, but I will try

Ok so is there any clarification on the different methods?

I am guessing matches boolean is just checking if the inventory is right (like if you put a piece of dirt in the inventory).

I am guessing canFit boolean is if the grid size works for the recipe

what is the difference between getCraftingResult and getRecipeOutput? should I return the same item for both of them?

The difference is that one has access to more information. For example, Choonster uses getCraftingResult to determine part of his iron->gold helmet recipe.

Keep in mind you can always extend an existing recipe class as well and override only what you need to.

 

The two things you need to be aware of are:

1) You need a factory that can deserialize the JSON objects into a IRecipe object. This is fairly easy, anything you'd ever want to parse can already be done with a helper object (JsonUtils and CraftingHelper will do 95% of what you need).

2) You need a _factories.json file to tell the game where to find your IRecipe factories.

Ok, thats the difference.

For what I am trying to do (Base the output off of the inputs) there is not a current recipe type.

One quick question, is there a way to change the texture of the output item from the item's normal texture? Kind of like Tinker's Construct.

TiC items are based on NBT data. You can't change the output's texture/model with a recipe, not unless that model definition already exists and you're modifying the data that describes the item (e.g. you add 1 to the metadata on a wool block to make it cycle colors).

Why can't I use NBT data? with the recipe I just get the type of the item inputted, then make a new ItemStack of the same item. I could easily add some NBT data to it.

How would I use NBT data to change the texture using registered images?

You CAN use nbt data, but my point is, the item needs to have a custom mesh definition registered to use the nbt data to determine its model. It is not a generic thing you can do to any item.

so basically, it's a pain and too advanced for me?

I'll be fine without it then lol.

Thanks for responding. got answers to everything I wanted to know.
