MC 1.12.2 Recipes registering

[winnetrie]

I know everyone is telling to use the new json recipes, but i don't like it actually. It is frustrating to create all those files 1 by 1 .....

Instead i would like to do it in code, for now. I might eventually switch.

I wonder if this is the right way to register recipes now in code:

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerRecipes(RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipe> event) {
		
		//adding recipe for clay bucket
		GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID + ":" + "clay_bucket"), 
					     new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID + ":" + "buckets"), 
					     new ItemStack(ItemInit.CLAY_BUCKET), 
					     new Object[] {"B B","B B", "BBB", 'B', new ItemStack(Items.CLAY_BALL)});
	}

No. Use JSON files. You can generate them automatically if you want.

Do not register recipes in code.

Automatically? Sounds good. Where and how?

Also why not in code? I mean not that i disagree, just want to know why?

Write a program that generates the JSON files for you.

1.13 brings data packs ("resource packs for servers"). This will eventually bring recipe syncing (client downloads recipes from server). This is not possible with code-based recipes.

Ok but what about oredictionary? If i was going to add more wood types, for example "apple_planks". How would i register it as "planks"?

Does this still has to be done in code?

For now, yes. However 1.13 also brings a new system called tags.

Aha, so is that what the "group" is meant for? :

{
  "type": "crafting_shaped",
  "group": "boat",
  "pattern": [
    "# #",
    "###"
  ],
  "key": {
    "#": {
      "item": "minecraft:planks",
      "data": 4
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:acacia_boat"
  }
}

The group is related to the recipe book.
