How to create a Dragon Forge Recipe from the Ice and Fire mod?

I want to create a recipe that only works with the Dragon Forge from the Ice and Fire mod. I checked the GitHub, but the recipes seem convoluted. I assume I need to import stuff from Citadel (a dependency for Ice and Fire that also crashes the built-in test environment) and Ice and Fire. What would I import? Do I absolutely need to add Ice and Fire and Citadel as dependencies? As I mentioned, Citadel crashes the test environment, and I like using that. I can just add it after I export it. I think I edit the mcreator.gradle instead of build.gradle.

You can use an archive tool like 7zip to open a mod file to find the recipe format it uses, by going into mod->data->modname->recipes->recipecategory->recipe then copying the format of the recipe from the end of that line

The recipe format for the dragonforge is:

{
 "type": "iceandfire:dragonforge",
 "dragon_type": "<fire, ice, or lightning>",
 "cook_time": <time>,
 "input": {
   "item": "<modid:item>"
 },
 "blood": {
   "item": "<modid:item>"
 },
 "result": {
   "item": "<modid:item>"
 }
}

You should be able to copy the formatting from there, then replace everything in <> with a specific dragon type, time amount, or item.

I hope that helps.
