DATAPACK

The rule for this mod can be modified in datapack or kjs.

Structure

The structure of the datapack should be like:

data/<namespace>/
├ universal_ingredient/
│  └ <ingredient_file_name>.json
└ universal_recipe/
    └ <recipe_file_name>.json

JSON

Universal Ingredient

We add cutting recipes for items by matching their ids.

We use '*' as wildcard for matching.

For example, "minecraft:oak_log", "minecraft:birch_log", ... matches "*_log".

The structure of the json should be like:

JSON
├ <ingredient_0>: [<rule_0>, <rule_1>, ...]
├ <ingredient_1>: [<rule_0>, <rule_1>, ...]
...

For example, part of data/universal_cutting_recipe/universal_ingredient/default.json:

{
    "boat": ["*_boat"],
    "bricks": ["*_bricks"],
    "button": ["*_button"],
    "door": ["*_door"],
    "fence": ["*_fence"],
    "fence_gate": ["*_fence_gate"],
    "log": ["*_log", "*_stem"],
    "planks": ["*_planks"],
    "stripped_log": ["stripped_*_log", "stripped_*_stem"],
    "stripped_wood": ["stripped_*_wood", "stripped_*_hyphae"],
    "trapdoor": ["*_trapdoor"],
    "wood": ["*_wood", "*_hyphae"]
}
  • Note: A standalone "*" can't be a rule.

Universal Recipe

The structure of the json should be like:

JSON
├ <input_ingredient_0>: {
│      <output_ingredient_0>: <count_0>,
│      <output_ingredient_1>: <count_1>,
│      ...
│  }
├ <input_ingredient_1>: {
│      ...
│  }
...

For example, part of data/universal_cutting_recipe/universal_recipe/default.json:

{
    "*": {
        "bricks": 1,
        "button": 1,
        "fence": 1,
        "fence_gate": 1,
        "slab": 2,
        "stairs": 1
    },
    "log": {
        "stripped_log": 1
    },
    "planks": {
        "button": 1,
        "door": 1,
        "fence": 1,
        "fence_gate": 1,
        "minecraft:ladder": 2,
        "minecraft:stick": 3,
        "sign": 1,
        "slab": 2,
        "stairs": 1,
        "trapdoor": 1
    },
    "stripped_log": {
        "boat": 1,
        "minecraft:barrel": 1,
        "minecraft:chest": 1,
        "minecraft:composter": 2,
        "minecraft:crafting_table": 1,
        "planks": 4
    },
    "stripped_wood": {
        "stripped_log": 1
    },
    "wood": {
        "log": 1,
        "stripped_wood": 1
    }
}
  • Note: A standalone "*" can be a input_ingredient.

Then recipes will be added if the * of input and output are same.
