BetterCustomRecipes

This plugin allows you to add custom recipe in Minecraft without any headache, Just some simple .json files and you are good to go.

Here is example.json created automatically for reference

{
  "result": "DIAMOND",
  "amount": 1,
  "shape": [
    "ABC",
    "DEF",
    "GHI"
  ],
  "ingredients": {
    "A": "STONE",
    "B": "STONE",
    "C": "STONE",
    "D": "STONE",
    "E": "STONE",
    "F": "STONE",
    "G": "STONE",
    "H": "STONE",
    "I": "STONE"
  },
  "name": "§aExample Diamond",
  "lore": [
    "§7This is an example recipe"
  ],
  "enchants": {
    "DURABILITY": 3
  }
}

Things to remember while creating a new recipe

• use valid names of items and enchants as used in spigot documentation
• the example.json have used all available keys
• use all keys in example.json for all recipes, you can keep them blank as "" (although it is not mandatory but suggested to prevent crashes)
