Crafting without losing the item?

[jordsta95]

Hey there, it's a simple question which I know the code for (I think, unless I am mistaken)....

 

Ok here is what I would like to do, I would like to make a stack of a custom item "DragonScale" by crafting the dragon egg, a diamond and a custom item "EndIngot"... but get the dragon egg back after crafting the DragonScales...

 

So I have used the normal shapeless crafting recipe, but added in (what I think is) the code for keeping the dragon egg... but eclipse is giving me an error... so I am guessing it is either in the wrong place, or it is the wrong code.

 

GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(DragonScale, 64), new Object[]{

Block.dragonEgg, Item.diamond, EndIngot

}); Block.dragonEgg.setContaineritem(Block.dragonEgg);

 

I looked on the wiki, but there is no tutorial on how to keep the item, so I was hoping you would be able to tell me where I have gone wrong

 

Thanks

To do that you can use a crafting handler. If you don't know what that is, just google it.

Yeah the stuff on google makes no sense to me, seeing as all the links are people asking for help, with no answers...

 

Also, I have no idea how to use them.

You Register a crafting handler (there should be a tutorial outside there)

 

And than you say everytime you craft your item you get a new Dragonegg^^.

Here ya go. Its items getting damaged while crafting to make them not get damaged (make sure to have max damage set first) on the recipe instead of -1 use -0 and in the handler instead of +1 try +0
