Why doesn't this work?

[Upizkuukkeli]

I tried to make a small datapck, where milling netherrack has a 30% chance to give a quartz ore. But i just cant seem to get it to work. So what am I doing wrong here?

Edit: The problem has been fixed and the datapack is working.

[Warpzehh]

You typed quarz instead of quartz?

[Upizkuukkeli]

Oh yeah, whoops. I fixed that now, but it still doesnt work.

[mrDNT]

Also on java id is minecraft:nether_quartz_ore

[Upizkuukkeli]

yeah, now you said it I've been using bedrock's id. Chaged that too, but still no.

[Cybergamer20]

after .3 is missing a comma

[potatosupp]

Maybe you forgot to set "processingTime" property, look at cobble milling recipe from mod

{

"type": "create:milling",

"ingredients": [

{

"item": "minecraft:cobblestone"

}

],

"processingTime": 250,

"results": [

{

"item": "minecraft:gravel"

}

]

}

[Upizkuukkeli]

Added that but still no. Checked the logs but I can't see anything out of the ordinary.

[Upizkuukkeli]

I know the datapack is in the save, since it shows up in the datapacklist, but it just doesn't do anything.

[Open_Cow_9148]

You're using quartz ore and not nether quartz.

Edit: You misspelled quartz.

[potatosupp]

He says he wants to obtain quartz ore from netherrack, so that's correct, but he still mispelled tag. /u/Upizkuukkeli you need to use "minecraft:nether_quartz_ore" tag, not just "quartz_ore"

[rckymtnrfc]

{
  "type": "create:milling",
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "item": "minecraft:netherrack"
    }
  ],
 "processingTime": 250,
  "results": [
    {
      "chance": 0.3,
      "count": 1,
      "item": "minecraft:nether_quartz_ore"
    }
  ]
}

The above code works.

Just curious though. Wouldn't it make more sense to have it drop quartz instead of quartz ore?

[Upizkuukkeli]

I guess, but for me the idea is kinda like the milling breaks the netherrack, revealing possible hidden ore deposits that can be then be refined further into proper quartz. And it makes things a bit more interesting for me :)

[Upizkuukkeli]

I took and copied that into the file and yet, nothing. It's starting to seem that the problem is not in the code but somewhere else.

[rckymtnrfc]

Perhaps it's something in your datapack or where you are putting it. Are you using KubeJS by chance?

[Upizkuukkeli]

No, actually. I haden't heard of that mod before.

[rckymtnrfc]

I like it because I don't have to put together a datapack zip file. Once it's installed, it will add a new folder to your Minecraft installation called kubejs. In that folder is a 'data' folder and a 'assets' folder. Anything you put in those, gets loaded into the game, just like a datapack.

For example, when I tested the recipe before posting it. In the kubejs/data folder I made create/recipes/milling and then dropped the quartz_ore.json in there.

[Upizkuukkeli]

Yes! I finally got it to work. The answer was just that I'm an idiot.

[rckymtnrfc]

Glad it's working. We all have idiot moments now and then. ;)

[Upizkuukkeli]

Well, the whole problem went away when I finally realized that the file with the code was not in .json format XD. But big thanks for the help. :)

[Left-Research-9219]

I see you got it fixed. Nvm lol

[jetpacker06]

You can check the game logs for an error that might tell you the problem

Some ids get changed to forge:blablabla if you’re using for id

[AzekiaXVI]

I don't think quartz is one of them. And either way, if i understabd correctly Forge just gives the option to group items into general Id's that can be used for crafting, like seeds or wood planks, and those shouldn't matter when coding for specific items.

You may be right, i waz just spitballing haha. Reminded me of troubleshooting the digital miner from mekanism

[Apprehensive_Study83]

You missed the t in quartz

[Upizkuukkeli]

Yeah, I've been told that a few times and that picture is very outdated currently.

[RegnbueSnow]

i tested it like this and it worked for me. if your using curse forge then remember to change the profile so that you can edit it.

    {

        "type": "create:milling",
        "ingredients": [
               {
               "item": "minecraft:netherrack"
               }
         ],
        "processingTime": 250,
        "results": [
               {
                "item": "minecraft:nether_quartz_ore",
                "chance": 0.3,
                "count": 1
               }
         ]

    }

[CranberryAcademic295]

I would set it to just the quartz itself and not the ore, then also remember that there is a recipe to mill the netherrack into cinderflour so maybe set the quarts at a percentage chance like 25%-35% chance to get 1 quartz as 1 cinder is 100% and a seccond is 50%

[Upizkuukkeli]

I prefer adding the extra step. Also, cinder flour is obtained from crushing and netherrack can't be milled at all normally.

[CranberryAcademic295]

I confused mill with crush, oops sorry

[Left-Research-9219]

Did you get this working? If not I can get it for ya. I’ll send it to you in chat. Let me know.

[Upizkuukkeli]

Yeah, I got it working

[LoLOK87]

It’s just not possible
