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.

Example Json files (placed in config/JSONRecipes):

_constants.json <-- special file that contains constants that can be used in all recipes

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

test_1.json <-- single recipe file
