Description
This mod adds 2 new recipe types that damage damageable input items instead of using them up, ready to use in your mod or data pack!
An example usage would be a recipe to craft gravel with a shovel to get flint, returning the shovel with some durability loss.
Let your imagination run wild!
Features:
- New recipe types: durabilitydamagerecipe:crafting_damage_shapeless and durabilitydamagerecipe:crafting_damage_shaped
- These recipe types are similar to the minecraft:crafting_shapeless and minecraft:crafting_shaped recipe types, but accept an additional parameter: damage
- Damage defaults to 1 and controls the amount of damage applied to damageable items used in these crafting recipes
- If a recipe's damage is greater than the remaining durability of any of the damageable input items, crafting is not possible
- Crafter block will eject damageable items after performing the craft
- Configurable display of "not enough durability" notifications when crafting or using Crafter block
- In-game documentation is available via Treatise if installed
- In-game configuration is available via Mod Menu if installed
The durability damage taken by an item is currently not affected by the item's enchantments, like Unbreaking.
