Chain-Crafting

Chain Crafting is a custom crafting engine made for Minecraft Bedrock. It works by chaining the minecraft:interact component with events and component groups. Since this is a task you don't want to do by hand, I made this generator to do the work. You can get the items you put into the "crafting table" back at any point in time by sneaking & interacting with the entity. That's one of the very special features of the Chain Crafting system: It saves the current input!

Usage

Visit https://solveddev.github.io/Chain-Crafting or download this repository and open the index.html file in the browser of your choice. Write a JSON file to describe the recipes you want to add with the following syntax:

{
	"entity": "minecraft:shulker",
	"recipes": [
		{
			"ingredients": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				}
			],
			"results": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_nugget",
					"data": 0,
					"count": 9
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

After a short amount of time, the page downloads the result of the generator as a .zip file. This archive contains a "loot_tables" & "entities" folder. In order to add the system to your behavior pack, drag the chain_crafting.zip file into your BP and unpackage it there. If you did it the right way, you should not see a "chain_crafting" folder in your BP.

If you do, move the "entities" & "loot_tables" folder into the BP root folder and remove the now empty "chain_crafting" folder

Other Examples

You can also add multiple ingredients. In this case, you start by interacting with the first item defined, then you need to interact with the second one, etc.

{
	"entity": "minecraft:shulker",
	"recipes": [
		{
			"ingredients": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:stick",
					"data": 0
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				}
			],
			"results": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_sword",
					"data": 0,
					"count": 1
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

Chain Crafting also supports multiple results:

{
	"entity": "minecraft:shulker",
	"recipes": [
		{
			"ingredients": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:stick",
					"data": 0
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
					"data": 0
				}
			],
			"results": [
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_sword",
					"data": 0,
					"count": 1
				},
				{
					"item": "minecraft:iron_nugget",
					"data": 0,
					"count": 9
				}
			]
		}
	]
}
