Custom Recipe using Custom Item?

So, I got my recipe code:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.FLINT_AND_STEEL);
ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();

itemMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&l&2Chain"));

List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Chains used to craft:");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Helmet");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Chestplate");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Leggings");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Boots");
lore.add(ChatColor.ITALIC + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "BetterRecipes");

itemMeta.setLore(lore);

item.setItemMeta(itemMeta);

ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(item);
recipe.shape(
" X ",
"X X",
" X "
);
recipe.setIngredient('X', Material.IRON_INGOT);
Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(recipe);

This creates an item called "Chain"

I've got a second recipe:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.CHAINMAIL_HELMET);
ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();

itemMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&l&2Chainmail Helmet"));

List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Sturdy helmet made from chains. Definitely stronger than an iron helmet.");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "It's has so many layers of iron that it protects from fire!");
lore.add(ChatColor.ITALIC + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "BetterRecipes");

itemMeta.setLore(lore);

itemMeta.addEnchant(Enchantment.PROTECTION_FIRE, 5, true);

item.setItemMeta(itemMeta);

ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(item);
recipe.shape(
"OOO",
"O O",
" "
);
recipe.setIngredient('X', Material.FLINT_AND_STEEL);
Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(recipe);

I want this second recipe to use the item created with the first recipe, not just any flint and steel. How can I do this? Thanks!

 

@mccrafter1212 You't cant with recipe add ingredient with itemMeta.
I guess you have to check it on the event PrepareItemCraftEvent

 

How could I go about doing this?

 

So people, Including me, Can see his code better:

Code:java

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.FLINT_AND_STEEL);
ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();
 
itemMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&l&2Chain"));
 
List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Chains used to craft:");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Helmet");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Chestplate");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Leggings");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "* Chainmail Boots");
lore.add(ChatColor.ITALIC + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "BetterRecipes");
 
itemMeta.setLore(lore);
 
item.setItemMeta(itemMeta);
 
ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(item);
recipe.shape(
" X ",
"X X",
" X "
);
recipe.setIngredient('X', Material.IRON_INGOT);
Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(recipe);
 
//This creates an item called "Chain"
 
//I've got a second recipe:
 
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.CHAINMAIL_HELMET);
ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();
 
itemMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&l&2Chainmail Helmet"));
 
List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Sturdy helmet made from chains. Definitely stronger than an iron helmet.");
lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "It's has so many layers of iron that it protects from fire!");
lore.add(ChatColor.ITALIC + "" + ChatColor.WHITE + "BetterRecipes");
 
itemMeta.setLore(lore);
 
itemMeta.addEnchant(Enchantment.PROTECTION_FIRE, 5, true);
 
item.setItemMeta(itemMeta);
 
ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(item);
recipe.shape(
"OOO",
"O O",
" "
);
recipe.setIngredient('X', Material.FLINT_AND_STEEL);
Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(recipe);

 

Your second recipe still has setIngredient('X', Material.FLINT_AND_STEEL); but your ingredient is 'O'. And I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you're allowed to leave the recipe shape empty. You should add a new ingredient and set it to Material.AIR. I don't know for sure though.

@Dnyce72799 That there is false, You are supposed to leave to leave it empty indicating that they put nothing there, so there is no need to set that as air.
