Cotton is a general-use, public library for unity within Fabric mods. Currently, it adds:
- Block and metal unification (no more having to juggle six types of copper ingot)
- Common item tags that vanilla doesn't include
- Configuration (temporary until Fabric's system is complete)
- Logging using Log4j
- Auto-generation of loot tables and data tags when necessary (primarily dev tool)
- Removal of existing recipes without log spam (primarily dev tool)
- Cauldron behaviors API (like filling a water bottle or brewing) with LibCD tweaker support
I’m putting together a little mod pack and would like to add a few new crafting recipes for vanilla items. I got the recipes to work as data packs in vanilla MC but cannot get them to work once I have fabric and mods installed. Can I do this with cotton’s global data pack folder, and simply add the recipes to the instance? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? I’m using multiMC.
In reply to animattor80:
You should be able to do them just five with the global data pack system.

Thanks! I have been trying to find documentation on how to do that (I read through the wiki on github and all the comments here) and I'm stumped. I have tried placing the datapacks in several different folders labled "datapack" in my instance, but to no avail. I there a folder created by cotton where I can just drop the datapacks (i.e. recipes created with an online JSON recipe generator)? If it involves getting into the coding side of things its beyond my depth at the moment.
In reply to animattor80:
Yes, it'll be called "datapacks" and be in your .minecraft folder. It'll also have an already set-up data pack, if i recall correctly, so you don't need to figure out the pack.mcmeta stuff.
In reply to LemmaEOF:
Thanks. I finally got it working. It seems that in the process of testing various mods I removed cotton, but the data packs folder remained in the file structure. However it did not function quite as well without the mod!
Which version to use with 1.16.3?
In reply to Forge_User_49005326:
1.1.0 should work for 1.16.3. If it doesn't, please provide a crash log!
anyone knows if that works for 1.16.3? because it crashes me
In reply to twichat28:
Oh boy, did something else break? Please file an issue report with your crash log on the github so I can take a look.
I know it's extremely close to the very beginning of 1.17 (literally just two days after the first snapshot) so it's almost certainly not decided yet, but are you leaning towards unifying all copper ingots under the upcoming vanilla one or continuing with your own? or is it just too early to say? I ask because I think it would be cool to have it unified under the vanilla one, but that could easily have consequences that I could never predict since I'm not a modder. It's not a make or break thing for me with this or any other mod, of course, but I'd love to hear a modders perspective on what to do with vanilla copper ore.
In reply to deadnametxt:
You're probably thinking of Cotton Resources instead of Cotton, but we're gonna be getting rid of our own. Mojang frankly knocked it out of the park with both the visual look and the weathering mechanics. We'll probably add some data fixer or such to convert to the new vanilla copper so that worlds don't break.
How do I remove this mod, because I had the wrong version and I can't seem to find it in my mods folder.
In reply to theomegamuffinboi:
Another mod you have installed probably physically includes it inside the other mod's jar.
In reply to B0undarybreaker:
Ok I will find the mod thx!

Cotton 1.0.7 is working just fine in multimc for me
In reply to biom4st3r1:

The latest Github release doesn't work on 1.16.2. Any plans for an update?
