Custom Crafters

This library, based upon the old Gamemode 4 Module of the same name, adds for a dropper-based custom crafter for custom item crafting purposes. The use of a dropper instead of a barrel ensures that the crafter can be used without a resource pack. Structured as a library, and gamemode 4 modules that require custom item crafting can include this library and come with the custom crafter features bundled.

How to Use

Custom Crafters have a function tag used to check recipes: #gm4_custom_crafters:check_recipes. Data packs should use this to set up recipes to be crafted in a custom crafter. Custom Crafters run every 16 ticks automatically checking for recipes and replacing them with their appropriate output.

Below are specific details in implementing a check_recipes function. Custom Crafters will only run recipe checks if all slots have the same item count.

Check that no other recipes have been completed

execute if score $crafted gm4_crafting matches 0 store result score $crafted gm4_crafting

Check the slot count

This should be set to the number of filled slots. For example if a recipe has 2 empty slots, the slot count should be 7 (9-2).

if score $slot_count gm4_crafting matches <number>

Check the stack size

This should be set to the maximum count of the input items. For example if you have a recipe that will create 4 items for each single recipe (like log -> planks), then this should be set to ..16, since 16*4 = 64, which is the maximum stack size for planks. This means only up to 16 items in each slot will work for this recipe.

if score $stack_size gm4_crafting matches ..<number>

Check the Items

This checks the Items block data (moved to storage for efficiency), which represents the recipe input. Note that count should not be checked here, since multi-crafting is supported by setting the stack_size

if data storage gm4_custom_crafters:temp/crafter {Items:[<...>]}

Note that the Custom Crafter automatically supports recipes placed anywhere in the grid, as long as the storage check assumes the recipe is inputted with alignment to the top-left. So for example, crafting a crafting table from planks will work in any 2x2 corner, but the storage check to check the items needs to check slots 0, 1, 3, and 4. The code will automatically shift the recipe in storage before the recipe checks are performed.

Loot Replace

run loot replace block ~ ~ ~ container.0 loot MODULE_NAMESPACE:crafting/RECIPE_NAME

• afformentioned loot table:

{
  "type": "minecraft:generic",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 8,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:loot_table",
          "value": "gm4:air"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "rolls": 1,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:loot_table",
          "name": "LOOT_TABLE_TO_ITEM",
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "minecraft:set_count",
              "count": "MULTIPLIER"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

• It is convention to put the recipe output in the last slot, but this loot table can be flexible, as long as it replaces all 9 slots. Loot tables pools are run in order, so multiple items can be outputted (such as emptying a water bucket and replacing it with an empty bucket).

Set the Multiplier

When setting the outputs with the loot table, the count determines how much the item stack will be multiplied by. For example setting the count to 4 will output 4 of that item per recipe (like the log -> planks example from earlier).

Recipe Check Function Example

a function that is called by #gm4_custom_crafters:check_recipes:

# 1 white wool -> 3 string (shapeless)
execute if score $crafted gm4_crafting matches 0 store result score $crafted gm4_crafting if score $slot_count gm4_crafting matches 1 if score $stack_size gm4_crafting matches ..21 if data storage gm4_custom_crafters:temp/crafter {Items:[{id:"minecraft:white_wool"}]} run loot replace block ~ ~ ~ container.0 loot gm4_craft:crafting/string

the loot table gm4_craft:crafting/string:

{
  "type": "minecraft:generic",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 8,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:loot_table",
          "value": "gm4:air"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "rolls": 1,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:item",
          "name": "minecraft:string",
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "minecraft:set_count",
              "count": 3
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

In the example above, the stack_size is set to 21 because the output for a single craft is 3 string and the maximum stack size for string is 64, so 64/3 = 21.3 maximum input items (then round down since 22 would exceed the max stack size of string). The loot table ensures that all items are deleted and the last slot of the dropper is replaced with the output for one craft.
