Item Packs

Item packs allow grouping multiple items into a collection. In recipes, they accept any item from the pack as an ingredient.

Their functionality is similar to item tags, but they are customizable.

Definition File

plugins/Craftorithm/item_packs.yml:

all_wood:
  - 'minecraft:oak_planks'
  - 'minecraft:spruce_planks'
  - 'minecraft:birch_planks'
  - 'minecraft:jungle_planks'
  - 'minecraft:acacia_planks'

Using in Recipes

Reference item packs with the item_pack:<name> prefix:

type: 'vanilla_shaped'
result: 'minecraft:crafting_table'
shape:
  - 'AA'
  - 'AA'
ingredients:
  A: 'item_pack:all_wood'  # Accepts any wood type

Use Cases

• Multi-material compatibility: One recipe accepts multiple variants of the same material (e.g., all wool colors, all wood types)
• Simplified configuration: Avoids creating separate recipes for each material variant
• Easy maintenance: Adding a new material only requires one line in the item pack

Notes

• Item packs are only valid in input fields (ingredient, base, addition, etc.)
• The result (output) field does not support item packs
• Items in the pack must be valid vanilla IDs or registered external plugin items
