Material Recipe JSON

This recipe defines an item input for a material. It is used both in the part builder for part crafting and in the tinker station for repairing tools.

Keys

• type (string): Always tconstruct:material.
• ingredient (Ingredient): Item to associate with the material. In general, an item can only match one material.
• value (integer): How many baseline "ingots" this recipe produces of the material. Defaults to 1.
• needed (integer): How many ingredients are needed to produce value of the material. Defaults to 1.
• `material (MaterialId): The material to be associated with the item.
• leftover (ItemOutput): extra item produced if the recipe cost is not a multiple of value.

Example

Associates iron nuggets with the iron material. 9 iron nuggets are needed to produce 1 iron material. Note that the iron material is not defined as being craftable, meaning this recipe only allows nuggets to be used for repairing iron tools.
