[1.15.2] Custom Furnace Recipe With No Output

[IceMetalPunk]

I finally got the Forge MDK for 1.15.2 to install properly on my computer after months of frustration, so yay for that! But I haven't modded since 1.12, and man, things have changed. So I'm going to need some help from the community...

 

I would like to create a furnace recipe that has no output. You put the item (probably will be redstone dust) in the input of a furnace with fuel, and it burns away, but leaves no output. (There will be tile entity things happening that will make this worthwhile.) Turns out, the vanilla recipe manager can't handle this: creating a recipe with the result being minecraft:air just doesn't work at all. So it seems like I'll have to create a custom recipe type... but wow, it's very different than 1.12! I can't seem to find any tutorials on it. It seems like the _factories.json is completely gone, and now there's some kind of three-part system, with recipes, serializers, and factories all being required for this? The Forge documentation seems out of date, still showing the _factories.json approach.

 

I tried looking through some of the vanilla recipe serializers and using the blasting recipe class/serializer as a base for my own, but it's not working. I have this as my recipe class:

 

package com.icemetalpunk.scarlet_alchemy.recipes;

import com.icemetalpunk.scarlet_alchemy.ScarletAlchemy;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.item.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.AbstractCookingRecipe;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.CookingRecipeSerializer;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.IRecipeSerializer;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.IRecipeType;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.Ingredient;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

public class VaporizingRecipe extends AbstractCookingRecipe {
	static ResourceLocation RES_LOC = new ResourceLocation(ScarletAlchemy.MOD_ID, "vaporizing");
	static IRecipeType<VaporizingRecipe> VAPORIZING_RECIPE_TYPE = IRecipeType.register("vaporizing");
	static CookingRecipeSerializer<VaporizingRecipe> SERIALIZER = IRecipeSerializer.register("vaporizing",
			new CookingRecipeSerializer<VaporizingRecipe>(VaporizingRecipe::new, 100));

	public VaporizingRecipe(ResourceLocation idIn, String groupIn, Ingredient ingredientIn, ItemStack resultIn,
			float experienceIn, int cookTimeIn) {
		super(VAPORIZING_RECIPE_TYPE, RES_LOC, groupIn, ingredientIn, new ItemStack(Items.AIR, 0), experienceIn,
				cookTimeIn);
	}

	@Override
	public IRecipeSerializer<?> getSerializer() {
		return SERIALIZER;
	}
}

 

But Eclipse shows the error: "The type CookingRecipeSerializer<T>.IFactory<VaporizingRecipe> from the descriptor computed for the target context is not visible here."

 

How exactly am I supposed to define a serializer based on the cooking recipe serializer? Do I actually need to create an entirely new class that copies all the code from CookingRecipeSerializer but which exposes its IFactory? The fields it uses are private, so I can't even extend it properly... There must be a cleaner way that I don't know about, right?

I think you're going to need to extend the FurnaceRecipe class, not the abstract class.

Even if I do that, I still have the same errors trying to create the serializer for it. Still says the IFactory type is not visible (although parametrized with FuranceRecipe instead of AbstractCookingRecipe now, but the same error otherwise).

Oh! Hmm.

Nope, not sure what's going on.

I haven't done anything with cooking recipes specifically, but all vanilla recipe serializers are now Forge registry objects.  So registering your own serializer is now done like any other registry object - either via RegistryEvent.Register<CookingRecipeSerializer> and @ObjectHolder, or (preferably) using the new deferred registry system.

 

So it should (like I said, I haven't tried this with cooking recipes, only crafting recipes) be possible to register your custom cooking recipes with a registry name of (say) "mymod:my_recipe", and then have a recipe JSON in your data/recipes looking like:

{
  "type": "mymod:my_recipe"
}

 

For an example of how I register custom crafting recipes, see https://github.com/TeamPneumatic/pnc-repressurized/blob/1.14/src/main/java/me/desht/pneumaticcraft/common/core/ModRecipes.java

Unfortunately, I'm not even to the point of registering the serializer yet. I'm getting these errors from Eclipse right in the IDE, long before I even run anything, as soon as I type the code

Yeah, I think you're right that CookingRecipeSerializer.IFactory needs to be public to be able to extend it in any useful way.  I'd say a PR to Forge is needed there (just an AT entry to make IFactory public, so pretty simple).

 

You do need to move away from statically creating your recipe type and serializer objects, though, same as for any other registry object.
