So I have a custom log that otherwise works well in game and wanted to register it in ore dictionary to act as same ingredient as oak logs. However, I'm not using the variants property from log but rather just have metadata value hardcoded to 0 for my log. But it doesn't seem to work -- no recipes are unlocked and if I place it in crafting table nothing happens.

 

I tried registering the ore dictionary in both ways:

        OreDictionary.registerOre("logWood", new ItemStack(cloud_log, 1, OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE));

and

        OreDictionary.registerOre("logWood", cloud_log);

 

My log class is here: https://github.com/jabelar/ExampleMod-1.12/blob/master/src/main/java/com/blogspot/jabelarminecraft/examplemod/blocks/BlockLogCloud.java

 

Does someone know if this works -- using ore dictionary for matching vanilla recipe ingredients based on metadata? Or is there some other mistake I'm making?

 

I realize I can work around this by creating my own duplicate recipes, but just thought I'd use ore dictionary where possible.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm running into the exact same problem. I have some custom logs that do not use metadata. They appear to be registered to the ore dictionary just fine, but they do not work in vanilla recipes. I'd rather not recreate a bunch of recipes if I don't have to.
