The Smooth Elevator

English

Hi everyone! I’ve updated The Smooth Elevator with some under-the-hood changes that are essential for a better experience.

What’s Changed:

• Improved Reload System: Fixed an issue where elevators would occasionally stop working after a plugin reload. It is now fully stable and seamless!
• Unified Recipe IDs: Recipes are now created based on a unique ID used across all languages. Previously, using multiple languages at once could cause ID mismatches; now, the ID remains consistent regardless of the language setting.
• Solid Performance: These tweaks make the plugin much more robust and easier for administrators to manage.

🚀 The Smooth Elevator - Update v1.3

Español

¡Hola a todos! He actualizado el plugin The Smooth Elevator con cambios mínimos en apariencia, pero fundamentales para el funcionamiento interno.

¿Qué hay de nuevo?

• Sistema de Reload Mejorado: Corregido un error donde los elevadores podían dejar de funcionar tras recargar el plugin. ¡Ahora el proceso es 100% seguro!
• ID Unificado para Recetas: Las recetas ahora se generan basadas en un ID único e independiente del idioma. Esto soluciona los conflictos que ocurrían al usar varios lenguajes simultáneamente, garantizando que el ID sea consistente para todos los usuarios.
• Mayor Estabilidad: Con estos ajustes, el plugin es mucho más sólido y fácil de configurar para los administradores.

Elevador Update – New Recipe Creation GUI

/elevador recipe

A brand new recipe creation interface has been added to Elevador, making custom recipe setup much easier, faster, and far more comfortable for administrators.

This new system was designed to give server staff full control over how elevator recipes are created, edited, and expanded, all through a much more intuitive GUI.

What’s included in the new recipe GUI:

• Create and edit recipes directly from an admin-friendly interface

• Support for Shaped and Shapeless recipes

• Support for exact recipes and non-exact recipes

• Choose the result item of the recipe

• Set the result amount

• Create recipes that result in either:

  • custom elevator parts
  • or the final elevator

• Choose the color of the final elevator

• Rename custom parts and recipe results

• Much easier workflow for adding more elevator recipes without messy manual setup

This means administrators can now build full elevator crafting chains in a much cleaner way, including custom parts, exact ingredient costs, different recipe styles, custom outputs, and colored final elevators.

On top of that, the entire system remains fully compatible with:

• Folia
• Paper
• Spigot

This update makes the plugin much more powerful while keeping recipe management simple, practical, and flexible for server owners and staff.

Elevator Essentials — Advanced Crafting Guide

The plugin allows you to create custom crafting trees using external ingredients or intermediate components. This enables configurations such as:

• A + B = C
• D + E = F
• C + F = ELEVATOR

Administrators can use vanilla items or items from other plugins (ItemsAdder, Oraxen, CustomCraft, etc.) without needing to depend on their specific APIs.

---

Step 1 — Register External Ingredients

Hold the item in your hand and use the following command:

• /elevador item set A
• /elevador item set B
• /elevador item set D
• /elevador item set E

This saves the complete ItemStack into the configuration under: parts_crafting.external_items

Automatically generated example:

external_items:
  a:
    id: minecraft:iron_block
  b:
    id: minecraft:redstone_block
  d:
    id: minecraft:redstone_torch
  e:
    id: minecraft:piston

These items are then referenced as: ext:A, ext:B, ext:D, ext:E.

---

Step 2 — Define Internal Parts

Parts are items created by the plugin that serve as intermediate components. Example:

parts:
  C:
    material: SMOOTH_STONE
    name_fallback: "&eElevator Part C"

  F:
    material: IRON_PRESSURE_PLATE
    name_fallback: "&eElevator Part F"

These are referenced as: part:C, part:F.

---

Step 3 — Define Recipes

Recipes function as logical blocks. Basic Example:

recipes:
  part_c:
    type: shapeless
    result:
      type: part
      id: C
    ingredients:
      - ext:A
      - ext:B

  part_f:
    type: shapeless
    result:
      type: part
      id: F
    ingredients:
      - ext:D
      - ext:E

  elevator_final:
    type: shapeless
    result:
      type: elevator
    ingredients:
      - part:C
      - part:F

Final Result:

A + B → C | D + E → F | C + F → ELEVATOR

Creating Larger Tech Trees

Yes, you can create as many steps as you like. Complex Example (Double the steps):

1. A + B = C
2. D + E = F
3. C + F = G
4. G + A = H
5. H + F = ELEVATOR

Configuration:

parts:
  C:
    material: SMOOTH_STONE
  F:
    material: IRON_PRESSURE_PLATE
  G:
    material: POLISHED_ANDESITE
  H:
    material: OBSERVER

recipes:
  part_c:
    type: shapeless
    result: { type: part, id: C }
    ingredients: [ext:A, ext:B]

  part_f:
    type: shapeless
    result: { type: part, id: F }
    ingredients: [ext:D, ext:E]

  part_g:
    type: shapeless
    result: { type: part, id: G }
    ingredients: [part:C, part:F]

  part_h:
    type: shapeless
    result: { type: part, id: H }
    ingredients: [part:G, ext:A]

  elevator_final:
    type: shapeless
    result: { type: elevator }
    ingredients: [part:H, part:F]
