Machine Recipes Block Component

The utilitycraft:machine_recipes component allows you to define machine recipes directly inside the block JSON.

It works with:

  • utilitycraft:simple_machine
  • utilitycraft:simple_machine_liquid
  • utilitycraft:double_machine

This removes the need for scripting when defining recipes.

1- Simple Machine Recipes

Used by:

  • Crusher
  • Incinerator
  • Electro Press

Predefined Type​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "type": "crusher"
}

Custom Recipe Format​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "minecraft:cobblestone": {
    "output": "minecraft:gravel",
    "amount": 1
  }
}

Fields​

  • output (required) --- Item produced.
  • amount (optional, default: 1) --- Output amount.
  • required (optional, default: 1) --- Input amount required.
  • cost (optional) --- Overrides machine energy cost.

2- Simple Machine Liquid Recipes

Used by:

  • Melter
  • Magmatic Chamber
  • Any liquid-producing processor

Predefined Type​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "type": "melter"
}

Custom Liquid Recipe Format​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "minecraft:cobblestone": {
    "liquid": "lava",
    "amount": 250
  },
  "minecraft:netherrack": {
    "liquid": "lava",
    "amount": 1000
  }
}

Liquid Fields​

  • liquid (required) --- Liquid produced.
  • amount (required) --- Liquid amount per operation.

3- Double Machine Recipes

Used by:

  • Infuser
  • Alloy machines
  • Catalyst-based processors

Predefined Type​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "type": "infuser"
}

Custom Double Recipe Format​

Double recipes use a pipe (|) to separate inputs:

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "utilitycraft:amethyst_dust|utilitycraft:obsidian_dust": {
    "output": "utilitycraft:stabilized_obsidian_dust",
    "required": 4
  },
  "minecraft:redstone|minecraft:iron_ingot": {
    "output": "utilitycraft:energized_iron_ingot",
    "required": 4
  }
}

Double Fields​

  • output (required) --- Item produced.
  • required (optional, default: 1) --- Input amount required.
  • amount (optional, default: 1) --- Output amount.
  • cost (optional) --- Overrides default energy cost.

Notes​

  • Custom recipes override predefined type recipes if both are defined.
  • Recipes are parsed automatically at block initialization.
  • No scripting is required when using this component.
