example

View this example.

It loads up most (not all) of the Minecraft recipes and items. The textures are completely themeable using existing Minecraft texture packs too.

// create a crafter
var crafter = require('craft')();
 
// add a recipe for a torch
crafter.recipe({
  have: [
    ['coal'],
    ['stick'],
  ],
  give: ['torch', 4],
});
 
// craft your item
var item = crafter.craft([
  ['coal'],
  ['stick'],
]);
console.log('You get ' + item.give[1] + 'x ' + item.give[0] + '!');
 
// item is now a normalized recipe

Minecraft-like Recipe Format

If you specify more than one argument to crafter.recipe() it will assume you're entering a recipe in a Minecraft-like format:

// turn a box of dirt into 2 diamonds
crafter.recipe(['diamond', 2], [
  'DDD',
  'D D',
  'DDD',
], ['D', 'dirt', 2]);

• The first argument is what the recipe will give and how much.
• The second argument is a map of the recipe.
• The following arguments indicate what each of the characters within the map are equivalent to and how much are required.

Popular Mod Recipe Format

crafter.recipe() also accepts a shorthand popular mod format. Enter as strings, a single recipe per line:

crafter.recipe([
  // recipe for a ladder
  'shaped ( log+null+log / log+log+log / log+null+log ) > ( ladder,16 )',
  // planks
  'shaped stick+stick ; stick+stick > planks',
].join('\n'));

web user interface

Also included is a web user interface.

var webui = require('craft/webui')({
  container: document.getElementById('crafting')
});
