# Crafting
If you need tags support or other features you can use [ItemsAdderAdditions](https://itemsadderadditions.com/docs/recipes/crafting).
To create a recipe you have to create a special section in one of your `.yml` files.\
This section can be added in all and any of your `.yml` files for better organization of recipes.
## 3x3 recipe
```yaml
info:
namespace: myitems
recipes:
crafting_table:
deadmau5_hat:
permission: myitems.deadmau5_hat
enabled: true
pattern:
- BXB
- XBX
- XXX
ingredients:
B: LIGHT_BLUE_WOOL
result:
item: myitems:deadmau5_hat
amount: 1
```
As you can see I created the recipes section in the .yml file, this section can contain each type of recipe.\
In this example I created a `crafting_table` recipe called `deadmau5_hat`.
## 2x2 recipe
### Method 1
```yaml
taco:
permission: itemsadder.taco
enabled: true
pattern:
- XSC
- XPB
ingredients:
B: itemsadder:baguette
C: itemsadder:sliced_roast_beef
P: itemsadder:potato_sticks
S: itemsadder:lettuce
```
### Method 2
```yaml
taco:
permission: itemsadder.taco
enabled: true
pattern:
- SC
- PB
ingredients:
B: itemsadder:baguette
C: itemsadder:sliced_roast_beef
P: itemsadder:potato_sticks
S: itemsadder:lettuce
```
## Multiple patterns
{% hint style="success" %}
You can create **multiple patterns** per recipe, just make sure that the attribute **starts** with `pattern` text. For example `pattern_2`.
```yaml
turquoise_sword:
permission: itemsadder.turquoise_sword
enabled: true
pattern:
- XRX
- XRX
- XSX
pattern_2:
- RXX
- XXR
- XSX
ingredients:
R: itemsadder:turquoise
S: STICK
result:
item: itemsadder:turquoise_sword
amount: 1
```
{% endhint %}
## Special features
```yaml
peeled_potato:
permission: itemsadder.peeled_potato
enabled: true
pattern:
- XXX
- XKP
- XXX
ingredients:
K: itemsadder:knife
P: POTATO
result:
item: itemsadder:peeled_potato
amount: 1
return_items:
decrement_durability:
knife:
item: knife
amount: 1
play_sound:
name: itemsadder:item.knife.use
volume: 1
pitch: 1
```
For example this is the `peeled_potato` recipe. This is a special recipe which uses a knife as ingredient of the crafting (and a potato) and decrements its durability when player crafts one peeled potato without making it disappear.
As you can see you can also play a sound using `play_sound`.
## Shapeless recipes
```yaml
shapeless_emerald_example:
enabled: true
shapeless: true
ingredients:
A: POTATO
B: STONE
result:
item: EMERALD
amount: 1
```
## Potion type in ingredient
You can require a specific potion type in the ingredient by using the `potion_type` property, for example:
```yaml
info:
namespace: myitems
recipes:
crafting_table:
infested_cobblestone:
permission: myitems.infested_cobblestone
enabled: true
pattern:
- CCC
- CAC
- CCC
ingredients:
C: COBBLESTONE
A:
item: POTION
potion_type: minecraft:infested
result:
item: INFESTED_COBBLESTONE
amount: 8
return_items:
- item: GLASS_BOTTLE
amount: 1
```
