Is this possible for custom recipes?

With using basic craftbook, I was able to do this.
STONEA + STONEA = STONEC

However, I was not able to do this...

STONEA + STONEB = STONEC

I'm attempting to take custom named items with specific lore and combine them in a crafting bench to make a custom named item with specific lore.

Think of making a book. you have to gather Page 1 through 10 to make a book so to speak. Right now that doesn't seem possible, at least with tools available.

Would love to know if I'm just looking at this wrong!

 

Have you tried using the PrepareItemCraftEvent event?

I haven't gone so far as to make custom recipes that require custom items, but I have had good luck intercepting that event, scanning through the items in the recipe, and then adding my own custom item to the output if what I want to see is in there.

So you'd register recipes for the simplified versions of your recipe (like 8 paper and a book), and then handle it accordingly in the event, depending on if the ingredients are your special items or not.

 

I spoke with the Craftbook Devs and they stated it was a shortcoming of Bukkit... but I just dont see how it can take one custom named/lore item but not two =/

 

Yeah, that does seem weird. On the Bukkit side, it seems like it doesn't work with custom items at all- crafting recipes just deal in Materials. :\

 

Odd, I can definitely say Craftbook has it working. haha - its a bit weird and flakey - maybe I should dive into a custom plugin but I was hoping to avoid yet another work of art.
