A jam for making the best crafting recipe
  • About

    Welcome to the crafting jam!

    This is a jam for making the best crafting recipe (or multiple).
    Submissions are taken in the form of datapacks, now dont be scared, if you dont know how to make a datapack, you can make one using a generator site.

    Guide to make your recipe into a submitable datapack
    1st of all, go to the site linked above.
    Now follow these steps:
    - Input you crafting recipe into the grid;
    - Turn on the options provided if you need to;
    - Rename the recipe name in the "Output Recipe" blank to avoid interfering with vanilla recipes / other custom recipes;
    - Click "Download datapack".
    This will download the datapack you need to use the recipe in minecraft or submit to the jam.

    If you want to add a second or however much you want recipes to a single pack, follow these additional steps after making the first recipe by the steps above:
    - Repeat the previous steps for another recipe EXCEPT click "Download JSON file" instead of "Download Datapack";
    - Now unarchive the existing datapack it or just work in it if you have a .zip opening tool;
    - Open the folder by the path data/crafting/recipe and you should find your 1st recipe as a JSON file;
    - Put the new JSON file next to the old one;
    - If you unarchived the file archive it back to .zip format.

    If you had any problems feel free to message me via pmc inbox: Cteklyaxa, I will try my best to help!
