Hello, thank you for your time.
For some context, I'm currently working on the recipes for my mod, and so far I'm doing pretty good figuring out how the newer versions of forge work (I'm coming from all the way back in 1.7.10). At first everything seemed far too tedious, but I've come to recognize that the forge team is doing very well with their work. The new systems seem to be much better than the old. There is something I'm struggling to understand however. And would greatly appreciate some help with learning. My goal is to simply register some of my items to the Ore Dictionary. It's come to my attention that the way this is done has greatly changed since 1.7.10. While the documentation is fairly detailed, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I looked all over the internet for hours trying to solve this issue on my own. Could you please help me to understand what the best way to register ores to the dictionary is?
Please forgive me if this isn't the correct way to register ores anymore. But this is what I have.
Upon running the game, there are no apparent errors in the console indicating that the registration is invalid.
I've put together a test recipe to see if things worked out or not.
Here is the JSON for that.
Again, thank you for your time and patience.
Just in case you want to take a deeper look, here's my Github repository.
You may notice I'm working with a 1.12.2 environment. And that would be correct. However, unless something important has changed between then and 1.14/15, please do not tell me to update to receive support.
