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,

"minecraft:chest": 1,
"minecraft:composter": 2,
"minecraft:crafting_table": 1,
"planks": 4
},
"stripped_wood": {
