CustomCrafting v5 Alpha 4

v5 is a complete rewrite and redesign of the entire plugin and recipe structure.
It adds features and improvements that were not possible in v4.

In recent times, Minecraft has changed a lot, new modding/plugin platforms have emerged or separated themselves from their original project.
It's now a major task to make plugins/mods work across various platforms, each with their own different API.

With the removal of obfuscation, using and building against the Minecraft internals has become way easier. It is for that reason that with v5 CC focuses on building features on top of the Minecraft internals instead of platform-specific APIs. To keep compatibility, the goal of v5 is to integrate into each platform as best as possible (like Events, Listeners, Third-party Plugins/Mods), while keeping most of its codebase platform-agnostic.

That is where scafall comes in. Scafall allows for the creation of cross-platform APIs, which other mods and plugins may use, and makes it easier to link platform-specific implementations together.

However, all of this comes with a variety of new challenges, so going forward, CustomCrafting will only support the latest Minecraft version!

TLDR

• CustomCrafting v5 builds features on top of Minecraft internals directly
• Only supports the latest Minecraft version
• Requires the scafall library/mod See releases here
• Provides a cross-platform API

Brand-new Wiki

With the release of v5 on Modrinth comes a brand-new wiki, available at:
https://wolfyscript.github.io/CustomCrafting/

The new wiki provides many visual improvements and is managed using git now, making it easier to maintain than the old GitHub wiki.

Fabric Server Support

v5 introduces support for Fabric servers. Server-side-only mods allow vanilla clients to connect to the Fabric server, so similar to Spigot, players don't need to install any client mods.

The Fabric implementation provides many benefits compared to the Spigot/Paper implementation. It integrates custom recipes that have a vanilla counterpart directly into the vanilla recipe mechanism, this means better integration with existing mods and improved recipe book support.

Separate Paper Version

Starting with this update, there is going to be a separate customcrafting and scafall jar file for paper specifically. If you are using Paper, you should use that to benefit from the improvements and extra features.

Currently, that extra includes only the Stonecutter recipe support, which is missing in the Spigot version.

New Features

v5 introduces some major overhauls to the resource loading and recipe structure.

Configure Resources and Load Order

Sources define where resources are loaded from (Local directory, H2, SQLite, MySQL, etc.).
Backup destinations define where backups will get saved when created. (local directory or zip file)

New & Improved Recipes

v5 expands the functionality of all recipe types. Especially the ones that had a bit of a lacklustre feature set in v4.

Tip This version adds some default recipes that showcase some of the new features. They'll get loaded on startup and can be found here in the v5 branch

Improved Anvil Recipes

• Rename Options (formatted, pre and suffix, cost, repair cost)
• Durability Combination Options (bonus, ratio combination)
• Item Repair Options (cost per item, enchants)
• Enchanting Options (preserve, upgrade cost, conflict cost, and more...)

Improved Grindstone Recipes

• Enchant Removal Options
• Enchant Merge Options
• Durability Combination Options
• Repair Cost Options

Improved Recipe Items

• Full SNBT support for vanilla item stacks
• Support for DataFixerUpper via version property

Improved Command Result Action

• Full command context support
  • Target Selectors @p, @n, @r, @a, @e, @s
  • Target Selector arguments
• and basically anything else from vanilla commands

Advanced Ingredients

This update introduces new Ingredient options that allow configuring how they are matched and/or consumed.
These options are optional and use defaults that make them behave like they do in vanilla.
Options all have their own Registry, so third-party plugins/mods can register their custom behaviour for each option type.

Matching Options

These options specify how the Ingredient choices are matched against the source stack in the inventory.

Consumption Options

Specifies how the Ingredient is consuming the source stack when the result is collected or produced.

Error Tracking

CustomCrafting uses error tracking to assist in the maintenance of the plugin/mod. The Error tracking integration makes issues/errors more visible and provides insight on how well the plugin/mod functions in production.
Which in return enables far quicker bug fixes and improvements than previously possible.
