So I made a post in Modder Support asking for a way to replace vanilla crafting recipes in 1.14.4. No solutions have been posted, nor have I found a way.

 

Right now, it seems that if a mod wished to replace a vanilla crafting recipe, it would need to include a separate data pack to be installed in world file.

I'm requesting that forge reads mods' data/minecraft/recipes (or maybe all of data/minecraft/*) and replaces vanilla data files with those provided by mods.

 

If this should be a bug report, I'll post there, but the EAQ said that section is for players, not modders, so I'm here.

 

From the post in Modder Support:

It was working in 25.0.100 (for 1.13.2), but after updating it doesn't. (I had a custom serializer to toggle the recipes from the config file, but now a simple override doesn't seem to work.)

 

I've tried in the following locations within src/main/resources:

assets.minecraft.recipes

assets.warforge.recipes

data.minecraft.recipes

data.warforge.recipes

 

None of them seemed to work. In all cases, the recipe crafted a chestplate, which I'm trying to disable. While in the data.warforge.recipes folder, I tried using to command to enable the recipe in-game, but the vanilla recipe still won over.

The recipe is already named the same as the iron chestplate recipe (that is, iron_chestplate.json) in data.minecraft.recipes, and it isn't overriding the vanilla recipe.

 

Data packs work just fine as far as I know. If they dont report a bug properly.
