    About the Datapack


    The Grinding Table is a datapack that adds the Grinding Table, a utility block perfect for things like item management, general crafting and more.

    Crafted from just 2 Planks, 1 Gold Ingot and 1 Smooth Stone, The Grinding Table has a sleek and easy to pick up GUI, foolproof of any mistakes the player may make while grinding.

    FAQ

    Q: The pack doesn't work! / I don't see the "datapack loaded succesfully!" message!
    • A: You're on a Minecraft version that doesn't support the pack. Check the versions tab on Modrinth for compatible Minecraft versions.

    Q: The Grinding Table works, but has missing textures!
    Q: How do I make my own recipes / edit the existing ones?
    • A:
    Method 1: (Easier)
    Unzip the Datapack and go in the folders \data\hfd-tgt\function. There you will find a file called "base_recipes.mcfunction". To add a new recipe, copy the template found at the top of the file, paste it on a new line at the end, and replace the necessary values. If you want to edit an existing recipe, find it in the file and customize it to your demands.
    Method 2: (Safer and More Compatible)

    Download the Example TGT Recipe Pack and unzip it. In the example datapack, change the path "example" to anything of your choosing. (Make sure to also change it in the function tag file.). When creating a world, place your datapack above TGT, or else it won't work. If your world is already created, disable your datapack with the /datapack command, and then run the command:
    /datapack enable [your datapack] after [TGT]

    When changing / adding recipes to the recipes.json file, follow the same steps as in method 1.


    Q: The Grinding Table functions, but none of the recipes work!
    • A: You have a corrupted base_recipes.mcfunction file. Check the Minecraft log located in .minecraft\logs\latest.log for more info.

    Q: The Grinding Table works, but none of the custom recipes work!
    • A: You have a corrupted custom recipes datapack. Ditto.

    Additional Info


    Pack only runs commands when Grinding Tables are loaded to minimize lag.

    If you wish to uninstall the pack after use you can use the /function hfd-tgt:uninstall command to help with the process. Note that this command won't remove Grinding Tables that are unloaded and / or stored in a container.

    i don't know much about rust but you can make it so if the table is destroyed it places a new one on the same block by going in the gt_destroy.mcfunction file and replacing the 7th line with

    function hfd-tgt:gt_placer_place_gt

    if you replace the 7th line in the file instead of just adding it then you will also remove the command that spawns the item so it should be fine
