Adding a recipe

Overview

Recipes are stored as YAML files in the resources/recipes folder of your addon. For example, in Pylon base, the recipe for tin nuggets is stored in resources/recipes/minecraft/crafting_shapeless.yml and looks like this:

pylonbase:tin_nuggets_from_tin_ingot:
  ingredients:
    - pylonbase:tin_ingot
  result:
    pylonbase:tin_nugget: 9

Each recipe type has a specific YAML structure you must follow when writing recipes for it.

Info

If you are not sure how to write a config for a specific type of recipe, look for YAML files corresponding to that recipe type. For example, you could look at the resources/recipes folder of Pylon base to see how to create a magic altar recipe.

Creating a recipe for the baguette

Dough can be smelted into bread in a normal furnace or smoker. However, for the baguette, we need something more heavy duty: the blast furnace.

Let's create a recipe that smelts dough into baguettes in a blast furnace.

Pylon base already has an example of how to write blasting recipes, so let's look there.

Based off of that, let's create our recipe. First, create a file resources/recipes/minecraft/blasting.yml. Then, insert the following (and change myaddon to the key of your addon):

pylonbase:baguette_blasting:
  ingredient: pylonbase:dough
  result: myaddon:baguette
  experience: 0.5
  category: misc

The first line is the key of the recipe. All recipes of a given type must have a unique key. The rest of the recipe YAML is fairly self explanatory, except perhaps category, which is the category that the recipe should appear in in the crafting book.

Info

If you're not sure what an item's key is, hold it in your hand and run /py key.

From now on, recipes will not be provided for any item examples for the sake of brevity.
