Using IItemDefinitions to save a lot of time when referring meta-items

Let's say we want to remove the recipes of some specific colors of wool.
White wool has the metadata 0, all colors range from meta 1 to meta 15, so there are 16 in total.

We want to remove the wools with meta 3 to 12. What do we do?
We can't just remove all of them (in other words, use <minecraft:wool:*>), but we also don't want to write 10 times the same thing.
While in this example this would totally work, in large scale this becomes pretty annoying!

• recipes.remove requires an IIngredient Object
• An IItemStack can be used as IIngredient as IItemstack extends IIngredient
• We can use IItemDefinitions to create IItemStacks

We use IItemDefinitions and an Integer Range and iterate through latter.
If we can't use an int range we can also use a number array, but that would require you to type in all required numbers.
You can also use this to Except some items from being used.

ZenScript
 Copy
val itemDef = <minecraft:wool>.definition;

//does this for <minecraft:wool:3> to <minecraft:wool:12>
for i in 3 to 13{
    recipes.remove(itemDef.makeStack(i));
}


val numArray = [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] as int[];


//<minecraft:wool:3> to <minecraft:wool:12>
for i in numArray{
    itemDef.makeStack(i).addTooltip("Un-Craftable");
}

//<minecraft:wool:3> to <minecraft:wool:12>, but without 5 and 9
for i in 3 .. 13{
    if(i != 5 & i != 9){
        itemDef.makeStack(i).addShiftTooltip("Help me!");
    }
}
