So I want some items to be like #center_item where #center_item is anything decided by the config, which I know how to do thanks to diesieben07, but problem is is that ShapedRecipeBuilder#key() only accepts either a Tag<Item>, IItemProvider or Ingredient, how do I make it so I can use strings directly (#center)?

 

also here's my code now

ConditionalRecipe.builder()
                    .addCondition(
        				new BooleanCondition(() -> Config.COMMON.GEAR_RECIPES.get(), BooleanCondition.Type.ENABLE_GEAR.get())
                    )
                    .addRecipe(
                    	ShapedRecipeBuilder.shapedRecipe(GEAR)
                        	.patternLine(" x ")
                        	.patternLine("x#x")
                        	.patternLine(" x ")
                        	.key('x', INGOT)
                        	.key('#', Config.COMMON.CENTER_ITEM.get()) //this is the problem
        	                .setGroup("")
        	                .addCriterion("has_item", hasItem(Items.IRON_INGOT))
        	                ::build
                    )
                    .build(consumer, new ResourceLocation(MorePlates.MODID, material.toString() + "_plate"));

also are _factories.json still a thing? or are they changed

Wait so can they access my mod through, let's say, 7zip and delete my recipes? That is if they don't use crafttweaker nor resourcepacks?

There is no reason to make them configurable via config files also.

Alright then, I won't do it!

Well yes, but no. They don't have to delete stuff, they can just make a new zip file that has the same folder structure and files names and override your stuff without ever touching it.

That's....kinda the whole point of the json system.
