I have a weird behavior and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. so maybe one of you can help me.

 

I try to make a custom recipe in minecraft.

 

When I use only one Item like here;

 

{
    "type": "crafting_shaped",
    "pattern": [
        "###",
        "###",
        "###"
    ],
    "key": {
        "#": {
            "item": "minecraft:stone"
        }
    },
    
    "result":
    {
        "item": "dstm:pot_block",
        "count": 1
    }
}

 

The recipe works just fine. But when I try to make a variation of it it doesn't work anymore. I checked in in a json validator the second code should be correct.

but it doesn't work anymore. Sooo it's not okay?

 

{
    "type": "crafting_shaped",
    "pattern": [
        "###",
        "/ /",
        "/C/"
    ],
    "key": {
        "#": {
            "item": "minecraft:stone"
        },
        "/": {
            "item": "minecraft:stick"
        },
        "C": {
            "item": "minecraft:coal_block"
        }
    },
    
    "result":
    {
        "item": "dstm:pot_block",
        "count": 1
    }
}

 

So I am happy for any help thx you 

Try using a normal character like "S" instead of "/", as / is an escape character in java.

No it isn't. / is as valid of a character as any other one in java. \ is the escape character.

It can't work just fine because it's syntax is invalid. Stone has subtypes and uses metadata to differentiate between variants and as such a data property must be specified in the ingredient. You are not specifying one.

Hi Lumby thx for the answer but unfortunately it makes no difference  

 

{
    "type": "crafting_shaped",
    "pattern": [
        "SSS",
        "W W",
        "WCW"
    ],
    "key": {
        "S": {
            "item": "minecraft:stone"
        },
        "W": {
            "item": "minecraft:stick"
        },
        "C": {
            "item": "minecraft:coal_block"
        }
    },
    
    "result":
    {
        "item": "dstm:pot_block",
        "count": 1
    }
}

 

doLimitedCrafting is set to false as well...

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Recipe#JSON_format

you need to add

"data": metadata

underneath

"item": "minecraft:stone"

and make sure your JSON is valid (add a , after minecraft:stone")

Ah! thank you very much

That makes sense! This must be it.

 

Though what do I have to do when I want to allow all stone or wood types for a recipe?

I thought it was possible with the overall ID.

 

So just to be sure - since I am an absolute newcommer to Java - when I want only the normal stone I should write within the brackets:

 

 "S": 
{
"item": "minecraft:stone",
"data": "0"
}

 

Or is the syntax different for the DVs? And do I need within brackets as well a comma at the last paragraph or is it enough to set one behind the closing bracket one?

You need to specify all of those variants in the ingredient. Or if you want stuff from other mods to be accepted as well you'd need to use the ore dictionary. Here is an example of using ore dict(I specify stuff in the _constants file but you can specify them directly in your ingredients, having a _constants just allows you to reuse ingredients instead of having to type them over and over again)

The recipes use json. the "data" is just a json property of the object named after your ingredient key.
