This hook is called when a player changes contents of their crafting grid, before the built-in recipes are searched for a match by Cuberite. Plugins may use this hook to provide a custom recipe.

If you intend to tweak built-in recipes, use the HOOK_POST_CRAFTING hook, because that will be called once the built-in recipe is matched.

Also note a third hook, HOOK_CRAFTING_NO_RECIPE, that is called when Cuberite cannot find any built-in recipe for the given ingredients.

Callback function

The default name for the callback function is OnPreCrafting. It has the following signature:

function MyOnPreCrafting(Player, Grid, Recipe)

Parameters:

If the function returns false or no value, other plugins' callbacks are called and then Cuberite searches the built-in recipes. The Recipe output parameter is ignored in this case.

If the function returns true, no other callbacks are called for this event and Cuberite uses the recipe stored in the Recipe output parameter.

Code examples

Registering the callback
