Custom Items in a crafting recipe?

I am trying to make it so in the crafting recipe of a custom item has custom itemstacks in it:

Code:

        ItemStack UnCommonCrate = new ItemStack(Material.CHEST);
        ItemMeta im = UnCommonCrate.getItemMeta();
        im.setDisplayName("§c§lUn§b§lCommon Crate");
        List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
       lore.add("§b§l§oRight Click to Open " + ChatColor.RED + "[Can Contain Rarities 20-24]");
       im.setLore(lore);
        UnCommonCrate.setItemMeta(im);
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
        ItemStack uncommonfragment = new ItemStack(Material.CHEST);
        ItemMeta uncommonfrag = uncommonfragment.getItemMeta();
        uncommonfrag.setDisplayName("§c§lUn§b§lCommon Crate Fragment");
        List<String> lorea = new ArrayList<String>();
        lorea.add("§7§lPut 8 of these with a CommonCrate in the middle to craft the Next Tier Crate!");
        uncommonfrag.setLore(lorea);
        uncommonfragment.setItemMeta(uncommonfrag);
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
        ShapedRecipe uncommon = new ShapedRecipe(UnCommonCrate);
        uncommon.shape(new String[]{"AAA","ABA","AAA}) ---> Past here I know I put setIngredient, but

I don't know how to set 'A' to a custom ItemStack, same with 'B'
If anyone can tell me how that would be great.

I meant setting 'A' and 'B' to a custom ItemStack Above

Code:

[LIST=1]
[*]        ItemStack uncommonfragment = new ItemStack(Material.CHEST);
[*]        ItemMeta uncommonfrag = uncommonfragment.getItemMeta();
[*]        uncommonfrag.setDisplayName("§c§lUn§b§lCommon Crate Fragment");
[*]        List<String> lorea = new ArrayList<String>();
[*]        lorea.add("§7§lPut 8 of these with a CommonCrate in the middle to craft the Next Tier Crate!");
[*]        uncommonfrag.setLore(lorea);
[*]        uncommonfragment.setItemMeta(uncommonfrag);
[*]

[/LIST]

 

Eh wtf is up with the "|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||" in your code..

Anyways, there are lots LOTS of tutorials on the forums on how to do this, did you even check?

 

I looked for tutorials on this before hand. Couldn't find any. I found lots on how to make custom crafting recipes but not on how to have an item in the crafting recipe a custom ItemStack.

Like A = the ItemStack uncommonfragment.
and B = the ItemStack commoncrate

 

@TheDiamond06
Read the link I posted.

 

I read it, just says things about the format: char, Ingredient
besides the Ingredient I want to make it an ItemStack.
the uncommonfragment I made in my code above.
I did see something about material data but, I tried changing the ItemStack to material data and it messed all the display names, and lores up.

 

Use "setIngredient("symbol", customItemStack.getData()):"

 

Doesn't work. Says it is an unknown variable.
