Custom Items used in crafting.

So, I have searched around only to have no luck in finding a solution. What I am trying to do is make a weapon. my recipe is as follows:

Code:

[T][S][ ]
[T][ ][S]
[T][S][ ] 

Sturdy Bow Recipe:
T = Custom string Called "Bow String"
S = Custom stick Called "Bow Frame"

I want to be able to craft the bow using the custom items. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that.

*I know how to make recipes (this one is obviously shaped), but I dont know how to make the recipe use my custom items.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Hubeb

 

hubeb Check if the items name == Bow String

 

You need to check in PrepareItemCraftEvent. Check each slot for the itemstack (make sure it's not null), and check if it has item meta, if so if it's X item meta (yours), then do stuff. (set result)

Do you mind showing me some generic example code? I cannot seem to get it working.

 

feaq16 I know how to make the recipies as states in OP.
TheGreenGamerHD Do you mind helping me out?

 

I already gave you the event, try playing around with it for a few hours.

 

easy way:
define itemstack with the item you want, lets say sticks.
get meta data.
set display name.
set the meta data.

in the recipe use the defined itemstack.

That's not what he's asking

 

mollekake In a recipe you can only use Materials, not ItemStacks.

 

Ah. I thought i had already done that with my own plugin, but i was working on the same thing as this fella. Anyway, the PrepareItemCraftEvent is the right way to go. A bit tricky but i got it to work! Fun stuff!
