Recipe Tabs Overview

mDirt supports three recipe types, each represented by a tab in the recipe editor:

• Crafting — for regular crafting table recipes (shaped or shapeless)
• Smelting — for furnace, smoker, or blast furnace recipes
• Stonecutting — for stonecutter recipes

Make sure you select the correct tab depending on what kind of recipe you want to create.

Common Field: Recipe Name

• Name
  The internal ID for your recipe (e.g., ruby_craft).
  • Must be all lowercase
  • No spaces
  • Use underscores (_) to separate words

Crafting Recipes

Slots Grid

• The crafting tab shows a 3x3 grid representing the crafting table.
• Click any slot to choose a Minecraft item/block to place as an input ingredient.
• Note: Minecraft does not support using custom items, blocks, or equipment as input ingredients, so mDirt follows this restriction.
• On the right is the Output slot — click to set what item your recipe produces.
• The output can be a Minecraft item/block or a custom item/block/equipment from your project.

Shaped vs. Shapeless

• Shaped recipes require items to be placed in the exact pattern shown in the grid.
• Shapeless recipes don’t care about arrangement; any combination of the required ingredients works.

Output Count

• Set how many units of the output item the recipe produces when crafted.
