How to Make a CUSTOM CRAFTING Table in MCreator!

[@MaxonTheGoofyGoober]

I was just looking up how to do this like yesterday but there wasn't anything that wasn't like 4 years ago! Thank You!

Nevermind, I found another one of your tutorials that explains my question. Great video!

If anyone wants to know, if you want a JEI recipe, there is a plugin for MCreator.

[@normthestorm15]

I can't seem to find most of the logic code blocks you are using (e.g. "return logic", "call procedure and get return value...") do you maybe know why that is?

It is a pity that there is no way to create new armor slots in the inventory... ehhh

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

One of the most common questions is adding slots for rings and such, sadly its not possible at the moment not without coding at least.

well there is an add-on for mcreator I think. no idea how it's called but you can make rings and such. but you have like a ton of slots I think am not sure

I know this is off-topic but I really need help with this: So I was making a Minecraft mod with Mcreator, using Blockbench to make the models for entities and Geckolib only for some entities. But when I made a new entity, an error message showed up when I tried to do anything. Make a new element, update an element, launch the game to test, nothing worked. I check the code and I had no idea what I was looking at and one of the errors was could not find symbol. I tried turning Geckolib off and back on, but still, nothing happened. The error in question was "one or more of your mod elements did not compile correctly. this can happen if you lock mod base files or elements." I press regenerate code and the same pop up error shows up again. Press it, again, again, and again, no end. I NEED to solve this problem as I don't want to have to make another mod and start from scratch and wait for that one to be broken too.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

I responded to your other post about this question.

Help. I think I did everything, but everything freezes when I open my GUI :(:(:(

[@ChekMate80MC-YT]

Is there any way to make a stone cutter like blocks?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

I have not tried, it may be possible to cycle recipes using slots and then maybe have some kind of action when the slot changes to update the output item then remove the item but I honestly am not sure if this would work or not. It would require me to do a lot of testing and trial and troubleshooting. But off hand that's by best idea which it could be done without coding.

[@CosmicTeration]

Help ple

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

if it says local chances are it's a local variable, you need to create though in the procedure on the right-hand side.

[@hallowedcs]

Hi, i did try to make the crafting script and noticed that it doesnt allow me to set the procedure to trigger While this GUI is open tick because it has required dependency itemstack. Is there any way around it?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

You would need to replace the itemstack block with a item selector block, though item stack local variables should still work as long as long as the item selector is used to apply the item to the variable.

[@Guy_offical]

Im having a really wierd issue where i can only put dirt into the recipe and have it work. i am making a crafting table with 3 inputs, and if i set any of the inputs to anything other then dirt then it wont work.

[@driffYT]

Hello! In my mod, I want to make a 5x5 crafting table (not a 3x3) but, when I import the gui open tick procedure you've provided, it says that there are errors: "Procedure return value block is calling nonexistent procedure CustomCraftingNormalGrassBlockRecipeCondition" and "Procedure return value block is calling nonexistent procedure CustomCraftingNormalBoneRecipeCondition" . I have imported the only gui open tick procedure you've provided and I think it is for the 3x3. How can I fix the errors? Thank you for your time.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

The return value in t he update tick procedure for the GUI would be for testing the recipes, this compacts the code a bit in the main file. I provided the 5x5 recipe condition in the project files make sure that you link up that at the location for the update tick procedure and then set your custom recipe, once done regenerate the workspace code and you should be good to go. You may need to remove unneeded recipes from the update tick main procedure but in most cases this should resolve the issue your having.

[@DrakKuba]

Hi, I have a question... How is the ItemTakenFromNormalOutputSlot procedure and there is a Set... to: and a number. So how do I create a Local: slot for that window?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

This would be a local variable, you would need to create the local variable on the right panel under the button to save the procedure. Once you have the local variable saved you will see it under custom variables on the left side.

[@JohnDoe-tt5qc]

Hi, making this comment in case anyone was having the same problem I was having. I noticed that after following this guide, the items would stay in the GUI when closed, rather than dropping or returning to my inventory, and if I broke the block the GUI was bound to, it would drop all items, including any items in the output slot. To fix this, don't enable block entity on the block, but instead make a trigger that opens the GUI when you right click the block. This unlinks it from any sort of external inventory, if that's what you're trying to do.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

For items to return to the player this would require advanced script to do when the GUI is closed, but for your other issues your output slot should have settings to disable dropping make sure that players can't add to that slot. There should also be overrides for preventing it from dropping there in the slots settings too.

[@JohnDoe-tt5qc]

@@NorthWestTreesMCreator I actually managed to fix the items staying and duping when the block is broken by just disabling block entity, and having a trigger that opens the GUI when you right-click it. That way there’s no inventory for the items to stay in, so they just go back to yours.

I'm making a mod with a ''scraping'' table wich don't matter anyways is a crafting table, of 1 slot imput and 4 slot output, any tips?

[@DrittStepGD]

Hello, I have never learned to program by blocks in MCCREATOR so I wanted to ask for your help, I really need it, it is a mod that I want to design which works like this, as you already know if you press Ctrl + Q you release the item that is in the slot of your hotbar, and what I want is that when I press Ctrl + Q, absolutely everything that is in my hot bar and in my inventory is thrown away.

[@PeaNUTFERRET]

I know how to do it, make a keybind for Ctrl + Q then make a procedure for when you press it, then make the procedure clear the inventory with ''clear inventory of Event/Target Entity''

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

PeaNutferret is correct. You would need to create two key binds one for CTRL and one for Q I suggest saving this as a player lifetime variable for each one just a simple logic value so you can test if both are true. When each key bind is pressed you will need to toggle the state, same when its released you will need to set them to false. This way you have a switch system for your Key bind. Doing this will allow the game to test if A and B are true if true then simply clear slots from 0 to 8 which are your hot bar slots.

[@DrittStepGD]

@@PeaNUTFERRET ohh ok

[@DrittStepGD]

@@NorthWestTreesMCreator ok but let's say that mod is considered a vanilla KeyBinding or let's say on servers, it will detect it as an add-on. That is, it possibly works on servers like Aternos, survival servers, Skyblock?

[@santinocermelo7330]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make snow-layer type blocks?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

This is pretty easy its just blocks that range size in pixels, when you right click on them with an item it replaces the block to the next stage until a full block. This can be done using global trigger for player right clicks block so it's easy for build. With that being said though each stage consist of 2 pixels in difference so your sizes would look like this. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 Basically just the same block but at different levels. You will need to model them all by hand in blockbench though.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

Far as I know mods only will test for thing on the current server. For something like this you would need to hard code something in. Though I think it may be possible in the future to send players between servers if I understand some changes Mojang is working on, though I doubt it would be possible to test if the mod exists on another server.

[@isha1q]

hi so im wondering if you can create a recipe for a custom crafting table. what i mean by this is like if i have an item that i dont want you to be able to craft in a normal crafting table but in a custom one can i do that?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

Normal crafting recipes don't carry over naturally to custom crafting stations like this, if you want vanilla recipes to be carried over then it will need to be done manually.

[@clashoftheninja4523]

Can you make a crafting recipe with custom made items on a custom made crafting table or only vanilla items

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

All recipes are custom, works with vanilla and mod items. If other mods have tags for each item it can also use tags rather than testing for a single item which can add support for other mods if they have tagged other items. Registries might also work too. Vanilla crafting recipes are not actually supported just yet I am working on a API that can read from forge data packs and get all crafting recipes but this is taking some time to develop. I just released my discord server last Sunday so I have a bit less time as I have been active there helping moderate the community.

[@oxgolden5954]

I wish I could support you more thank you so much really this helped me a lot ♥️🌹

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

Glad it helped!

[@Tronnos840]

But when i have to tag the blocks for crafting by myself, doesnt that mean that other modded blocks oike more glass or obsidian wont work anyways?

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

Hay Tronnos I remember your name from long before, nice to see you again 😉 Tags generally are not compatible with other mods when under your own namespace, in cases when this may be appropriate is when you need to separate tags for some reasons but mods can always add direct support for your mod if they decide to place their mod items under your mods namespace, they just need to use your namespace rather than the "mod" tag that's built in. With that being said there are some official tags that are always best to use when possible, these tags are built in to Minecraft and forge/neoforge which can be found below. minecraft.wiki/w/Tag forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Tags And in some cases common community tags can be used which MCreator wiki has a page dedicated for this directly. Below is that page. Though you would want to use the forge namespace or Neo Forge namespace though may mods would still pretty much still use forge these days even on neo forge. mcreator.net/wiki/commonly-used-tags-minecraft-mods The last notable thing is using tags also helps sync things across your mod. If your working with a lot of things that may need to be tested for say for mechanics you can use tags instead and it makes it easier to update as all you need to do is add or remove the item or block form the tag and it updates all the things across your mod which saves a lot of time when adding support for new resources, say you add a new wood type you won't need to go back and update all the procedures to add support for the new log block just update one tag. I hope this helps a bit. It's nice to see you still in the community.

[@WillStuff1111]

Great tutorial! Quick question tho. How do i import procedures

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

There is a button on above the local variable on the right side that should say import procedure. You can also export them here too.

[@RecovrGav]

Is there a way that I could make it so that you have to wait for the item to craft, kind of like a furnace? (It is a 5x5 table) If that is not possible, it would also be cool if there was a button in the gui that can fill a progressbar

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

This is possible if you use a timer to delay the output slot item being added, basically that's the only difference between crafting and furnaces besides crafting using more slots and no fuel but same thing pretty much. I have covered how to use timers, though I think it was for Global variables they do also work with block, entity, and item NBT variables just not local variables as local variables are only stored during the procedure running that one time then releases from memory. But pretty much any other variable type will work for timers.

[@WhiterM]

Hello! I have some issues with creating new smithing table. I'd love to add all vanilla recipes to it and some mine recipes, but the biggest problem is with vanilla (idk how to add trimed armor in output slot). Do you know how to do it? Please :)

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

Custom crafting station like this video covers can't inherit vanilla recipes. Your best bet would be to add a vanilla recipe if there is a option for it. But if your fine with not using ones from the base game custom crafting would be a option.

[@WhiterM]

@@NorthWestTreesMCreator I just made a procedure for recipe which uses vanilla tags like minecraft:trimmable_armor, but last thing I need to find is how to set NBT data for crafted item (combine armor texture of trim with texture of armor and add description for armor item). Do you think that I could do it with variables? If you have any idea or if you know about similar tutorial on YT tell me please. Anyway thanks for reply :)

[@Pixel_Art_Ink]

Can you tell me when I use my slingshot in my mod which is separate into two different items but switch to one another when loading, don’t have durability. Like it has infinite.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

It may be possible to use a item state system to update the texture like how bows work. For this you can try using a global procedure trigger for "When item used" testing for the exact item (itemstack = [item selector]) Then applying NBT data to the item this may then allow you to update the item display of the item based on the NBT item value using item states. However keep in mind that item states are client side only so anything that uses world side may not work. Also a pro got "when item used" is the "time" dependency this can be made using the advanced dependency blocks and typing the dependency name in there so in this case "time" would allow you to test how long the player is using the item for and then if it reaches a set number you could apply the NBT variable to the item. Giving that NBT would work for item states. I am not fully sure if they do work or not but if they do then this would be possible. The math would look something like below. If [time] = [20] Do: set item NBT to 1 If [time] = [40] Do: Set item NBT to 2 If [time] = [60] Do: Set item NBT to 3 You would then use the NBT value in your test for the item state for each texture. 0 would be your default texture state when its empty. I hope this helps.

ive got a big question for myself it will be hare but is there a way to make things that are like the mod create so like some rotating blocks with like custom units and such idk how to explain it but just simply something like create

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]

I have not seen to much of the mod, though chances are its hard coded, when it comes to things like blocks in MCreator its limited to commands like the clone command. Rotation is vertically impossible without a ton of script. The best I have gotten was a simple elevator system that uses the clone command and teleport command but as far as it being something as advanced as Create or even Mojang's Potato April fools update block that can move blocks seamlessly, its currently not possible without coding it in by hand. Though I really want this to be a reality because blocks have so much more uses than entities, just imagine building a galleon and having mock pirate battles. This would be good but the main issue is rotation and other blocks getting in the way of the clone command and doing it through NBT is not great as you need to communicate to all the block at the same time to move and then you have sync issues with some moving at different ticks. I have not been able to find a good medium but maybe if people push Mojang hard enough to add built in mechanics like that block in the APR fools update it might be possible for MCreator to add support at a later date I also say might because there is no guarantee that it would be something they would add support for as it depends greatly how it is implemented into the game.

[@NorthWestTreesMCreator]
