Quick start

This example overrides the existing apple shredder recipe so that one apple produces two sugar.

1. Create the packCopy Anchor Link

Create this folder structure:

apple-yield/
  pack.mcmeta
  data/
    hbm/
      recipe/
        shredder/
          shredder.apple.json

Put this in pack.mcmeta:

{
  "pack": {
    "description": "NTM example: apples yield two sugar",
    "min_format": [107, 1],
    "max_format": [107, 1]
  }
}

Minecraft 26.2 uses data-pack format 107.1.

2. Override the recipeCopy Anchor Link

Put this complete recipe in data/hbm/recipe/shredder/shredder.apple.json:

{
  "type": "hbm:shredder",
  "input_items": [
    {
      "ingredient": "minecraft:apple"
    }
  ],
  "order": 76,
  "output_items": [
    {
      "id": "minecraft:sugar",
      "count": 2
    }
  ]
}

The reviewed build produces one sugar. This example changes the output to two and retains the original input and ordering value.

The resource identifier is hbm:shredder/shredder.apple: namespace hbm, then the path relative to recipe/, without .json. Matching that identifier replaces the lower-priority file.

3. Install and enable itCopy Anchor Link

For general pack installation, see the Minecraft Wiki installation guide. The steps below use this pack's path and ID.

• Singleplayer: place the apple-yield folder inside saves/<world>/datapacks/.
• Dedicated server: place it inside the loaded world's datapacks/ directory, usually <level-name>/datapacks/.
• ZIP: put pack.mcmeta and data/ at the ZIP root.

With command permission, check the pack list:

/datapack list

If needed, enable the folder pack at the end of the enabled list so it has higher priority than the bundled data:

/datapack enable "file/apple-yield" last

Use the exact pack name shown by the command if yours differs. Then reload after editing the recipe:

/reload

4. Check the outcomeCopy Anchor Link

Check the game/server log for the recipe identifier and load errors. Start a new operation in a powered shredder with an apple. The expected result is two sugar for one apple.

Use a test world while developing a pack. A recipe appearing in a recipe viewer establishes that it was indexed; running it in the machine establishes that the machine can actually use it.
