I'm making a mod that adds armors and other things to starbound I've only finished the helmet and I want to make it a a furnace for easy testing but for some reason it just gives me a generic item, can someone help? here is the helmet file and recipe file crafting: { "input" : [ { "item" : "ardiumbar", "count" : 25 } ], "output" : { "item" : "ardiumarmorhead", "count" : 1 }, "groups" : [ "stonefurnace", "all" ] } item: "itemName" : "Ardiumhelm", "inventoryIcon" : "icons.png:head", "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0], "maxStack" : 1, "rarity" : "Rare", "description" : "Ardium helm visor's are dark and suspicious.", "shortdescription" : "Ardium helm", "inspectionKind" : "armor", "maleFrames" : "head.png", "femaleFrames" : "head.png", "mask" : "mask.png", "statusEffects" : [ { "kind" : "ColdProtection", "amount" : "100" }, { "kind" : "Protection", "level" : 31, "amount" : 39 }, { "kind" : "energyincrease", "amount" : 135 } anyone know whats wrong?
You have the number in quotes - first of all. So even if you do make it - it won't appear. Also you never mentioned about having a player.config which is required to even know the reciepe.
Check your starbond.log it will give you an error. That is by far the simplest way. === just post it here

Code: Error: Could not instantiate item '[ardiumarmorhead, 1, {}]'. ItemException: No such item 'ardiumarmorhead' The game is looking for 'ardiumarmorhead your item "itemName" : "Ardiumhelm", capiitilzation and naming is very important. Always use lowercase. Short description = ingame name ==== even file names are extremely important all the items file names associated should keep the same format
doesn't matter - keep it lower case, and same name. So you can avoid future conflicts like this. its not just file name you neeed to fix. you have to choose 1 name for the id. computer won't know adriumhelmet and adriumarmorhead are the same
though it doesn't matter so much if your planning on making a full armor set - then using head will make it easier to identify extension head in the filename matters though.
so I should write ardiuhelm.head in the filename for the item and in the item file then crafting I should put ardiumhelmhead? EDIT: its still just giving me a generic item
You still have syntax errors in your json. Any of those causes the game to treat the item as if it doesn't exist. I've managed to fix it up... Code: { "itemName" : "Ardiumhelm", "inventoryIcon" : "icons.png:head", "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0], "maxStack" : 1, "rarity" : "Rare", "description" : "Ardium helm visor's are dark and suspicious.", "shortdescription" : "Ardium helm", "inspectionKind" : "armor", "maleFrames" : "head.png", "femaleFrames" : "head.png", "mask" : "mask.png", "statusEffects" : [ { "kind" : "ColdProtection", "amount" : 100 }, { "kind" : "Protection", "level" : 31, "amount" : 39 }, { "kind" : "energyincrease", "amount" : 135 } ] } From what you posted above, the file didn't start with a { and ended with a }. Also when you used "statusEffects", there was no closing ], which also counted as an error. One big help is putting your code into a json editor. It should catch most of the syntax errors, except for quotes around numbers and around true and false. It also won't help if the itemName doesn't match the crafting recipe output. Make sure those two are the same or the game will think it spawned an invalid item. So if you use ardiuhelm for the itemName, the crafting output also needs to be ardiuhelm.
