how to add shears to the slicer?

[lolzhunter]

What happened?

might be a bit silly but im on the latest version, and there is no client config or an option in the common config to edit what the slicer can use as a tool i am using this in a custom curseforge modpack based off of "create flavored" with some added mods like thermal series and ae2 for 1.19.2 to name a few. i suppose my question is can i manually add the config back or am i doing something wrong, trying to cut up leather armor on a conveyor belt but the knives dont work so i figured i needed shears but couldnt put them on the slicer, i was using the beta version of 1.19 figured that was the issue, updated to 2.0.3 but still no added config/problem still happening, tried repairing the modpack still didnt fix it. any advice?

not sure why available recipes in the JEI [tools] aren't auto added :/, then again that feature could be annoying af to code/maintain i wouldnt know, knives and axe works fine so i know the list exists somewhere

The list of tools that are possible to be put into a slicer is managed using an item tag, it's explained here

[lolzhunter]

yes, but where/how do i do that? could you link a more in depth guide if possible

EDIT: managed to figure it out, had to go into the jar directly to find the allowed tools json and edited it so it looks like this now wish there was a easier way to do it but oh well, it did work, was able to boot into a world and it worked with the shears and the leather armor processing and all that

There is an easier way than to edit the file within the jar, it's datapacks

[PssbleTrngle]

Yes, you would have to create a datapack in that folder, they work similar to resource pack, but instead of modifying textures/models, they can modify things like recipes & item tags

[lolzhunter]

huh, how would i go about that for future reference? sorry ive never used datapacks before

[PssbleTrngle]

I recommend you watch a youtube tutorial on datapack. An basic example datapack which you could place in your worlds "datapacks" folder that adds shears would be this: example_datapack.zip
