How do I make an item not exist unless there is another mod installed?

[thatguyherobrine]

I would like to know, to add custom compatibility for mods like TCon, GCraft, etc. I don't want these items OR their recipes to even be initialized without those mods installed, but I want the other items to be craftable and exist.

Don't.

 

Always register your items. If they depend on other mods, just make the recipes conditional.

[thatguyherobrine]

Okay. But if there is in fact a way to do this, then I would still like to know.

I won't tell you how because you should always register your items.

Don't let the config decide whether or not to register things. Always register everything and then disable crafting recipes and creative-menu display when the server-side configuration arrives. This works even in SinglePlayer, no special-casing required.

I'm sorry for being such a noob, but how do I do those things?

 

Sorry again for being computer illiterate.

Disable crafting recipes unless another mod is installed, and disable creative menu display.

Hello?

[thatguyherobrine]

Can you give me an example of how to use these? Just like, a tiny bit of junk code to see how i'm supposed to insert it?

 

Edit: Also, I want the items to not be in the menu unless a mod is installed.

What you're probably looking for is Loader.isModLoaded("[modid]")

[thatguyherobrine]

(Ahh i'm so bad at programming)

You know what? Sorry for wasting your time. I'll just look it up from here. Thanks for your help.
