Take a look at this post which discuss a similar problem: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/92987-1163-test-is-item-is-on-certain-block/?tab=comments#comment-428440

Also the vanilla HopperBlock and HopperTileEntity classes are a good source of information, since the hopper can detect when item entities land on its top

i dont want to make a hopper.

i already looked at this post

Yeah, i know you don't want to make a hopper, but you want to detect if an item entity is on top of your block, which is something that the hopper block does and that you can take inspiration from...then after detecting if the items are on top of you block apply your logic to craft them into another item

what is a tile entity?

Documentation here: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tileentities/tileentity/ and here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Block_entity

I would not be able to explain it better personally.

 

EDIT: you may actually not need a tile entity to achieve what you want

what can i alternatively do?

 

[Davidthemodder]

i want to throw 2 items of my mod on my custom block and they make 1 new item

[Davidthemodder]

the new Item is also a custom item

[Davidthemodder]

what do i do with it and how do i use it?

 

[Davidthemodder]
