Creation Methods

GUI Creation (Recommended for Beginners)

/cra create <type> [recipe_id] [filename]

Opens a graphical interface to create recipes through click-based interaction.

Manual YAML (Recommended for Advanced Users)

Create YAML files directly in the recipes/ directory. Best for batch creation or precise control.

Result Processors (result_processors)

The result processor feature was added in version 1.13.0.0 to add additional effects to recipe results during crafting. Result processors can copy, add, or remove item components.

For detailed usage, see Result Processors.
