Eye of Ender Recipe

[kitsu]

After waiting forever for my first flower to mature I checked the uses of the "pearl" and found there aren't really any.
I'm fine with these being different from ender pearls: no teleporting, no ender chest, etc., but they have literally no use.
I know this isn't your fault, mod authors just aren't including the forge:ender_pearl tag.

What I really hoped for was an Eye of Ender recipe though, since I have several uses for those and they will help locating an end portal.

I ran into this recently while playing my personal modpack, and I worked around it by writing a small CraftTweaker script:

craftingTable.removeByName("minecraft:ender_eye");
craftingTable.addShapeless(
    "ender_eye_tags",
    <item:minecraft:ender_eye>,
    [<tag:forge:ender_pearls>, <item:minecraft:blaze_powder>]
);

I have also done this for several other recipes from other mods that I've run into, but there are quite a few of them. My own process for replacing these involves:

• Track which recipes to replace (either recipes you have run into, or by going into JEI and reviewing the Ender Pearl's recipes for recipes that don't use the tag version)
• Edit a CraftTweaker script to remove the original recipe and add a new recipe
• Load a test world in single player to verify that the script is valid and does what it is supposed to (CraftTweaker's modifications get reloaded each time a game server is launched (or maybe when a world is first initialized)
