Tutorial: Custom crafting machine block

MCreator Tutorial - Using procedures for a custom crafting block

As the answer to multiple requests, we made a tutorial on how to create a fully operational custom crafting block using the MCreator's new procedure system.

This kind of tutorial was the most requested one since the release of the procedure system that allowed doing such modifications. In this video, you will learn how to:

Create a block with its own inventory
Implement your own crafting procedure
Design a GUI for crafting-table-like blocks
Open a GUI using the procedures

The modification introduces a new crafting-table-like block which can be used for fusing Redstone Dust, Diamonds and Gold with Iron Blocks. You put 1 iron block in the top left slot and one of the 3 materials to create Red Iron, Diamond Blocks or Gold Blocks.

The mod and its workspace file can be downloaded on the modification's page.

You can find some more examples and help with procedures on our procedure system reference wiki page. If you have any questions or recommendations, leave a comment in the comment section below. Stay tuned!

good tutorial :)

Thanks :)

it will not work

It works, you just did something wrong. I suggest you to download the sample workspace that is found in the video description, open it and investigate it how it was made and build from there.

very helpful!

Thanks! I am glad to hear it helped you.

How do you create a processing block that takes time to process, like a furnace, for example?

Read previous comments, there is no direct way to do this yet.

This tutorial is so useful! I used it to make my Alchemy table in Trapped Souls.

Thanks. I am glad to hear you are now able to make better mods thanks to this tutorial!

I have just saw the 1.8.0 screenshot showing the overhauled mod elements list
They look so cool and also are very useful, especially the new recipe image! :D

I hope you will find this new feature useful, stay tuned as the update should be there in a few days :)

1.8.0 this or next week? :)

There are a few more features to be implemented, followed by testing. If there are no major bugs, it should be out this week, otherwise, next week.

is it available in the newest version?

What should be available in the newest version?

What is the "Leap at target" AI task supposed to do? The wiki says that it makes the mob act like a spider, but it actually jumps like a slime (and, unlike the slime, it takes damage by its own jumps)

Leap at target and attack on collide are used to create a mob that attacks other entities. Make sure to set the leap parameter to a reasonable value, so the mob does not hurt itself in the process.

Does anyone know how to create spawner blocks with custom mods and put them in a created structure?

Mobs*

You will be able to achieve this in MCreator 1.8.0 using support for the structure blocks.

if you can create custom spawners mobs but by means of procedures or by a simple option of the mod?.

thanks for answering :D
