FAQ
Q: How can I disable the "Loaded succesfully!" message?
A: Add the Disable HFD Load Popups datapack to your datapack/mod folder.
Q: The pack doesn't work! / I don't see the "datapack loaded succesfully!" message!
A: You're on a Minecraft version that doesn't support the pack. Check the versions tab for compatible Minecraft versions.
Q: The Grinding Table works, but has missing textures!
A: You don't have the resourcepack installed. You can find it in the versions tab.
Q: How do I make my own recipes / edit the existing ones?
A:
Method 1: (Easier)
Unzip the Datapack and go in the folders \data\hfd-tgt\function. There you will find a file called "base_recipes.mcfunction". To add a new recipe, copy the template found at the top of the file, paste it on a new line at the end, and replace the necessary values. If you want to edit an existing recipe, find it in the file and customize it to your liking.
Method 2: (Safer and More Compatible)
Download the Example TGT Recipe Pack and unzip it. In the example datapack, change the path "example" to anything of your choosing. (Make sure to also change it in the function tag file.). If you're playing on 1.21.9 or above, edit the pack.mcmeta file to work on those versions. When creating a world, place your datapack above TGT, or else it won't work. If your world is already created, disable your datapack with the /datapack command, and then run the command:
/datapack enable [your datapack] after [TGT]When changing / adding recipes to the recipes.mcfunction file, follow the same steps as in method 1.
Q: The Grinding Table functions, but none of the recipes work!
A: You have a corrupted base_recipes.mcfunction file. Check the Minecraft log located in .minecraft\logs\latest.log for more info.
Q: The Grinding Table works, but none of the custom recipes work!
A: You have a corrupted custom recipes datapack. Ditto.
Additional Info
You can find additional content for this datapack in my public Grinding Table Add-ons collection.
Pack only runs commands when Grinding Tables are loaded to minimize lag.
If you wish to uninstall the pack after use you can use the /function hfd-tgt:uninstall command to help with the process. Note that this command won't remove Grinding Tables that are unloaded and / or stored in a block.
Using this pack in a video or modpack is fine as long as proper credit is given.
