Recipe Book Access is a simple Fabric API designed to intuitively add support for external inventory access in any crafting screen.
\nIt redirects the recipe book functionality to check and fill from a customisable list of inventories, instead of just the player’s.<\/p>\n
### What does this mean?
\nSee for yourself!
\n
\nThis is an EXAMPLE of a modded crafting table uses a custom list of inventories via this API, in this specific case it uses all inventories from nearby chests.<\/p>\n
### This mod _alone_ will not achieve what is shown above – If you are looking for a mod that implements this for the crafting table, you probably want the Nearby Crafting mod.<\/p>\n
## Quickstart Guide
\n**For a more detailed how-to-use guide, including how to setup this API in your project’s environment, please see the readme on Github for this project here.**<\/p>\n
This API provides a simple interface called `RecipeBookInventoryProvider`, located in `com.jomlom.recipebookaccess.api`. <\/p>\n
This interface must be implemented to your screen handler class, only one method needs overriding (`getInventoriesForAutofill()`) for the API’s full functionality.<\/p>\n
You must implement this method to return a list of inventories which you want the recipe book to access and craft from, this won’t include the player’s inventory by default.<\/p>\n
_Code Example:_
\n“`java
\nimport com.jomlom.recipebookaccess.api.RecipeBookInventoryProvider<\/p>\n
public class YourCraftingScreenHandler extends AbstractRecipeScreenHandler implements RecipeBookInventoryProvider {
\n \/\/ your existing code…<\/p>\n

\n– Your corresponding screen extends ‘RecipeBookScreen’, in order to utilize the minecraft recipe book<\/p>\n
\n– **Q**: I think I found an issue…
\n **A**: Feel free to create an issue on Github or reach out directly on discord @joonty<\/p>\n
\n **A**: I plan to release support for older versions soon, I don’t currently plan to release support outside of Fabric. If _you_ would like to make a verion for another loader (Forge, NeoForge, etc) feel free to reach out on discord! @joonty<\/p>\n
\n **A**: Nope! `getInventoriesForAutofill()` is only used from the server side screen handler, and the API will keep the client up to date on the results for you automatically!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
