Toil and Trouble features custom data-driven recipes.

Brewing

Cauldron Brewing recipes use the following format:

: The root object.
├── type: Which recipe to use, in this case toil_and_trouble:brewing.
├── reagent: An ingredient that is consumed by the brew.
├── potion: A Cauldron Contents data component that is consumed by the brew.
├── result: A Cauldron Contents data component that will end up as the Cauldron Contents.
├── particle_type: Optional: A particle type displayed after a successful brew, see Particle Format.
| └── type: A particle type. ├── type: Whether to place the id set in result as a block.\

An example recipe is below, which crafts an Awkward Potion from the toil_and_trouble:creates_awkward_potions item tag (which contains Nether Wart) and the Water Bottle potion.

{
  "type": "toil_and_trouble:brewing",
  "reagent": "#toil_and_trouble:creates_awkward_potions",
  "potion": "minecraft:water",
  "result": "minecraft:awkward"
}

As a more complicated example, this potion consumes a Nether Star to create a Haste V potion with a white tint.

{
  "type": "toil_and_trouble:brewing",
  "reagent": "minecraft:nether_star",
  "potion": "minecraft:awkward",
  "result": {
    "custom_color": 16383998,
    "custom_effects": [
      {
        "id":"minecraft:haste",
        "amplifier": 4,
        "duration": 60
      }
    ]
  },
  "particle_type": {
    "type": "minecraft:happy_villager"
  }
}

Non-Potions

Toil and Trouble also supports a variety of vanilla non-potion fluids and "fluids". Currently supported are:

• Air ("minecraft:air")
• Water ("toil_and_trouble:water")
• Lava ("toil_and_trouble:lava")
• Honey ("toil_and_trouble:honey")
• Milk ("toil_and_trouble:milk")

Toil and Trouble also allows arbitrary blocks to be created from a successful brew. For example, to replace the Cauldron with a Lava Cauldron, set the id field to minecraft:lava_cauldron, and set place_as_block to true.

{
  "type": "toil_and_trouble:brewing",
  "reagent": {
    "item": "minecraft:cobblestone"
  },
  "potion": {
    "id": "minecraft:air"
  },
  "result": {
    "id": "toil_and_trouble:lava",
    "amount": 1
  },
  "requires_heat": true,
  "particle_type": {
    "type": "flame"
  },
  "place_as_block": true
}

Alchemy

Cauldron Alchemy recipes use the following format:

: The root object.
├── type: Which recipe to use, in this case toil_and_trouble:alchemy.
├── reagent: An ingredient that is consumed by the brew.
├── requires_heat: Optional, defaults to config: Whether heat is required to complete this recipe.
├── copy_components: Optional, defaults to false: Whether the first reagent's components should be copied to the result.
├── potion: A Cauldron Contents data component that is consumed by the brew.
├── result: An item stack that will end up in an empty Cauldron.
| └── id: An item id.
| └── components: Optional. Additional information about the item. See item components.
├── place_as_block: Optional, defaults to false: Whether to place the id set in result as a block.
├── particle_type: Optional: A particle type displayed after a successful brew, see Particle Format.
| └── type: A particle type.

An example recipe is below, which crafts an Cooked Cod with the custom name Awkward Fish from the minecraft:fishes item tag and the Awkward potion.

{
  "type": "toil_and_trouble:alchemy",
  "reagent": "#minecraft:fishes",
  "potion": "minecraft:awkward",
  "result": {
    "id": "minecraft:cooked_cod",
    "components": {
      "minecraft:rarity": "epic",
      "minecraft:item_name": "\"Awkward Fish\""
    }
  },
  "place_as_block": false,
  "particle_type": {
    "type": "minecraft:angry_villager"
  }
}

This recipe uses the place_as_block property to place an arbitrary blockstate.

{
  "type": "toil_and_trouble:alchemy",
  "reagent": "minecraft:bamboo",
  "result": {
    "id": "minecraft:bamboo_slab",
    "components": {
      "minecraft:block_state": {"type":"top"}
    }
  },
  "place_as_block": true,
  "particle_type": {
    "type": "minecraft:angry_villager"
  }
}
