I am making a basic rubies mod and my mod id is "rubies". In the game I want to be able to craft an item called a "strong_tool_handle". However, my json does not let it be crafted. 

```

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "ASA",
    " D ",
    " A "
  ],
  "key": {
    "S": {
      "item": "minecraft:red_dye"
    },
    "A": {
      "item": "rubies:soft_iron_ingot"
    },
    "D": {
      "item": "minecraft:diamond"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "rubies:strong_tool_handle",
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

Can someone explain why this does not work? Just in case you are wondering, soft_iron_ingot is another item in my mod. 

I see nothing wrong with your crafting recipe json file, I think the problem lies elsewhere. Where is the json file located?

It is in my data/mod_id/recipes folder. I have other recipes in that folder that work just fine.

This is the correct location.

Please post your debug.log for more information

What is that and how do I find it?

It is your log. If you lunch your mod in your IDE, it is: "your project folder/run/logs/debug.log"

I replaced the diamond in the recipe with another soft iron ingot and it worked. Did I declare the diamond wrong????

A file were everything minecraft / forge does is logged

Will it be the highest number debug log?

The file without a number, just "debug.log"

All of a sudden the diamond in the recipe started working. However, my ruby_sword recipe still doesn't work. ("I never brought it up before because I thought maybe they had the same problem). It uses one strong tool handle and two rubies. 

{
  "type": "minecraft_crafting_shaped",
  "pattern":
  [
    " r ",
    " r ",
    " s "
  ],

  "key":
  {


    "r":
    {
      "item": "rubies:ruby"
    },
    "s":
    {
      "item": "rubies:strong_tool_handle"
    }
  },
  "return":
  {
    "result": "rubies:ruby_sword",
    "count": 1
  }

}

"return": { "result": "rubies:ruby_sword", "count": 1 }

change "return" to "result" and "result" to "item"

Please post the log with the error.

OH!!!!!!!! Thank you so much

By the way: If you want that your recipe works with other diamonds added by other mods instead of the default minecraft one, then replace:

"item": "minecraft:diamond"

with

"D": {

    "tag": "forge:gems/diamond"

}

Thank you. One last thing. My sword still isn't working. Is there another error?

    }
  },
  "result":

    "count": 1
  }

}

Just now, atmosaveer said:

"type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped" (":" not "_" after minecraft)

 

oop... sorry for my dumb questions. Thanks so much. You helped a lot!

" r ",

" s "

By the way, by padding those strings with spaces, this item MUST be constructed in the middle column of the crafting table. This is not usually how crafting recipes work.

Ok I am back again. This still doesn't work. What stupid mistake is it this time. I have searched everywhere.

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",
  "pattern":
  [
    " d ",
    " d ",
    " x "
  ],
  "key":
  {
    "x":
    {
      "item": "rubies:strong_tool_handle"
    },
    "d":
    {
      "item": "rubies:ruby"
    }
  },


  "result":
  {
    "item": "rubies:ruby_sword",
    "count": 1
  }
}

Do what Draco18s said first:

change

 [
    " d ",
    " d ",
    " x "
  ],

to

 [
    "d",
    "d",
    "x"
  ],

 

So it is easier to craft the sword

it won't let me attach my debug log

IT WORKS! YAY. Howver, how do I make it show up in the swords section of the crafting recipe book instead of micellaneous.
