I'm using Forge on IntelliJ IDEA to make a mod for Minecraft, and I think I am stuck on where I need to register a recipe for an item.

How I got to that idea: I tested it out and everything worked. No bugs/errors: The item that would be made with the recipe (a rubber band) was available right away in creative mode. However, when I was trying to do the recipe part for creating the rubber band, which would include getting a dandelion that leads to an achievement(?) that shows the player they would then be able to make a rubber band with dandelions, the achievement only showed the regular recipe that's in the original game.

I know the setup of the files that import other methods works because I tried it out with this example. It also shows that the rubber_band.json was made in the resources, so my guess is that the part that went wrong is most likely how I did not include the registration of the recipe for the rubber band. I'm just unsure how to get that settled.

Here is what I have so far:

public class Recipes  extends RecipeProvider {

    public Recipes(DataGenerator generatorIn) {
        super(generatorIn);
    }

    @Override
    protected void buildCraftingRecipes(Consumer<FinishedRecipe> consumer) {
        ShapelessRecipeBuilder.shapeless(Registration.RUBBER_BAND.get())
                .requires(Items.DANDELION, 9)
                .unlockedBy("has_dandelion", has(Items.DANDELION))
                .save(consumer);
    }
}

^ with imports, this is the recipes (the only one I have so far)

    public static final RegistryObject<Item> RUBBER_BAND = ITEMS.register("rubber_band", () -> new Item(ITEM_PROPERTIES));
    // public static final TagKey<Item> DANDELION_ITEM = TagKey.create(Registry.ITEM_REGISTRY, new ResourceLocation(glow.MODID, "dandelion_item"));

        public static final DeferredRegister<RecipeType<?>> RECIPES = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.RECIPE_SERIALIZERS.getRegistryName(), glow.MODID);
    public static final RegistryObject<RecipeType<CraftingRecipe>> RUBBER_BAND_RECIPE = RECIPES.register("rubber_band_recipe", () -> new Recipe<ITEM_RECIPE>);

^ this is towards registration

singleTexture(Registration.RUBBER_BAND.getId().getPath(), mcLoc("item/generated"), "layer0", modLoc("item/rubber_band"));

^ this is towards ItemModelProvider

tag(Registration.DANDELION_ITEM)
                .add(Registration.RUBBER_BAND.get());

^ these are the tags

add(Registration.RUBBER_BAND.get(), "Rubber band");

^ this is the name

I am following this tutorial and this tutorial to get the format organized (and understand things better). I am also using this doc to see what I'm looking for, though I'm still not getting a good grasp on reading it.

Once more, my goal is to be able to craft the rubber band.

This is what it should look like at the crafting table:

Crafting table recipe

The player should also unlock the recipe when picking up the dandelion:

Unlocking recipe when picking up dandelion

Also, this is for game 1.18.2. Thank you in advance!

I have not yet used the Recipes class. I have been trying to follow along with this, which is the most recent version of the tutorial author's, but this also does not mention Recipes while it includes the class.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'm not an expert on Minecraft modding, but it almost looks like you're overwriting the Recipe class completely, no? I can see you have public class Recipes, but where are you doing new Recipes("recipe")? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Back when I used Forge, you just called GameRegistry.registerShapelessRecipe in your mod's init function. \$\endgroup\$

I realized I missed adding new Recipes() in the class DataGenerators

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = glow.MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class DataGenerators {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void gatherData(GatherDataEvent event) {
        DataGenerator generator = event.getGenerator();
        if (event.includeServer()) {
            generator.addProvider(new Recipes(generator)); // this was previously commented out
            // generator.addProvider(new LootTables(generator));
            BlockTags blockTags = new BlockTags(generator, event.getExistingFileHelper());
            generator.addProvider(blockTags);
            generator.addProvider(new ItemTags(generator, blockTags, event.getExistingFileHelper()));
        }
        if (event.includeClient()) {
            generator.addProvider(new BlockStates(generator, event.getExistingFileHelper()));
            generator.addProvider(new ItemModels(generator, event.getExistingFileHelper()));
            generator.addProvider(new LanguageProvider(generator, "en_us"));
        }
    }
}
```
