Recipe conditions

Recipe conditionsCopy Anchor Link

A condition controls whether a recipe loads. For example, this one requires the expensive_mode flag:

{
  "fabric:load_conditions": [
    {"condition": "hbm:flag", "name": "expensive_mode"}
  ]
}

{
  "neoforge:conditions": [
    {"type": "hbm:flag", "name": "expensive_mode"}
  ]
}

These are field fragments to include in a complete recipe. A leading ! negates an NTM flag, as in !expensive_mode. Flag names are declared by the mod; inventing a name is an error.

A false condition on a same-ID override does not restore the bundled recipe. The higher-priority file has already replaced it; skipping that file can leave the recipe absent. Use a different resource ID for an additional conditional recipe, or explicitly design which replacement should exist for each configuration.

Place the complete file shown for your loader at the recipe's original resource path. A pack intended for both loaders can combine the two condition fields in one file.

{
  "fabric:load_conditions": [
    {"condition": "fabric:not", "value": {"condition": "fabric:true"}}
  ]
}

{
  "neoforge:conditions": [
    {"type": "neoforge:never"}
  ]
}

An item without a named shredder recipe falls back to scrap.
