- 26 May 2022 07:39 #211374 With the update to 1.16.5, a bunch of new types of recipes can be achieved. Some of these are a bit more annoying to set up than you'd expect, but they work in time.
I'm going to break this post up into sections by the crafting type, to make things a little easier to work through, so I hope my ideas can be of help, and if needed, I'm willing to write the painful jsons xD
Code: Select allcrafting
To start with, I know this isn't the exact word used for the jsons, just simpler than listing all of the relevant types of crafting.
-Berry Woods as Regular Woods. I believe this is already done, but I just want to start off with something that sets the tone. Being able to make chests, beds, sticks, etc, out of berry wood, is honestly fairly important to me, so mentioning it.
-Apricorn Leaves for Tree. It's already a thing with the berry leaves, feels odd to leave them out.
-Balls. All Pokéballs deserve a recipe, not all currently available ones do, even though some have lids (Masterball).
-Ancient Balls. Hisuian/Ancient balls will also need a recipe, but I think just using the regular Pokéball recipe does them a disservice. I think it'd be great if the top half required a tumblestone combination with an apricorn, the base was just apricorns, and the process required minimal materials from underground (allowing for these to be very fast balls). The exceptions would be for Origin and Strange, of course, Origin I think should need two lids, and Strange can be default ball style. The other difference I think would be interesting, is if instead of a button, Ancient balls used a lever, representing the latching mechanism on the front.
-Sweets. I find it odd only one of the seven Alcremie sweets can be crafted. While I don't have full recipe ideas for them all, Berry could use a relevant berry, Flower could use flowers which are non-toxic, and Love (the one with a recipe) should probably have the recipe fixed, as currently it uses brown dye instead of cocoa beans (separate items since 1.14).
Code: Select allsmelting
-Berry/Apricorn Logs to Charcoal. Just for parity with other overworld logs. Can be easily achieved by adding them to the Minecraft tag #minecraft:logs_that_burn
Code: Select allblasting
-Faster Ores. I know this has been said before, but it's worth including for posterity. Ores which can be smelted in a furnace, smelt faster in a blast furnace. It's the entire gimmick of it, it'd be weird to skip out on it.
Code: Select allsmoking
-Apricorns. Could be slightly faster than a furnace, but beyond that just allowing a logical workstation to do its work.
-Slowpoke Tail/Smoke-Poke Tail. It's literally a smoker, it's meant to smoke stuff.
-Toast. It's the food furnace, it makes some sense.
Code: Select allcampfire_cooking
-Apricorns. This would allow for players to play at a slower pace than necessarily intended, but also create a sense of immersion, roasting apricorns on an open fire.
-Slowpoke Tail/Smoke-Poke Tail. Smoking something on a campfire makes sense.
-Toast. Just a nice way to cook something, imo.
Code: Select allstonecutting
-Temple Blocks. Specifically, Temple and Temple Brick Slabs and Stairs, but also Temple Brick itself, and possibly the Temple Pillar and, currently lacking a recipe at all, Fancy Pillar. Other blocks of the Temple Block stonecutting could include the Blank Unown block, and the Blank Braille block. Perhaps also the Ruins and Dusty Ruins walls.
-Braille Blocks. Separate from the above point, braille blocks could be crafted directly from the base, without use of buttons, within the stonecutter could be an amazing quality of life change.
Code: Select allOTHER
-Berry wood products as fuel (such as Red Berry Signs, as an explicit example). The berry logs work (although apricorn seem to not?), so giving full range to that would be grand.
-Bit of an odd thing I noticed going through recipes, "item.pixelmon.tm_gen2" is used for the wheels of the Mower. Why specifically Gen 2, and why does it not have an EN_US name? Silicon works for the other recipe option though
-More of a new item suggestion than a new recipe, but implementing the restoration items from Legends Arceus, as well as their craftability, would be a net positive on the mod in my eyes. However, I can understand not adding it, as it might make the current potions and revives worth less.
----------
That's all I have currently, just thought I would give my thoughts on it, as I feel recipes like these will improve the gameplay loop of many players.
