This mod allows you to load recipes from various JSON files found in the mod's config folder.

 

It supports the vanilla minecraft json recipe format.

[{
  "name": "MIXED",
  "ingredient": [
    {
      "type": "forge:ore_dict",
      "ore": "stickWood"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:torch"
    }
  ]
}]

 test_1.json <-- single recipe file
