Add Waxing Transformation

Creating the file

Waxing transformation is one of the easiest to implement. Also, if you add a transformation for an item to an other, than the waxed item can be scraped to the unwaxed item. (See the Scraping Mechanic) By the way, when you add a waxing transformation doesn’t apply for crafting. So if you want your item to be waxed with the honeycomb in the crafting table, you’ll need to make a recipe.

First you need to create a waxing_transformation folder in your namespace folder. Then create a simple .json file like your creating a custom recipe.

The structure should looks like this:

The data format

A Waxing transformation json file looks like this:

{
  "base": "<namespace>:<before_waxing_item_id>",
  "waxed": "<namespace>:<after_waxing_item_id>"
}

Here’s an example of a waxing transformation json file which permits to wax a cobblestone into a stone block.

{
  "base": "minecraft:cobblestone",
  "waxed": "minecraft:stone"
}
