The Edit ingredient menu can be used to select an ingredient for a crafting recipe, container recipe, or the repair item of a custom tool (the repair item of a tool is technically very similar to the ingredient of a recipe, so the same menu can be used for both). It should look like this:

An ingredient consists of 3 parts:

• The type (custom item or vanilla item)
• The remaining item (for instance an empty bucket when the type is a lava bucket)
• The constraints (for instance durability requirements)

Each type is explained in more detail below. Note: the remaining item and constraints are not available for empty ingredients.

Type

The most important part of an ingredient is its type. The type can be a vanilla item (possibly with data value in minecraft 1.12), a custom item (either from this plug-in or from a third-party plug-in with either ItemBridge or Mimic integration), or empty (this option is not always available).

The currently selected type is shown at the top of the page ("Currently Stone" in the screenshot above). To change it, you need to click one of the following buttons:

• from this plug-in: choose a custom item from this plug-in
• from another plug-in with Mimic integration: choose a custom item from a third-party plug-in that has Mimic integration
• from another plug-in with ItemBridge integration: choose a custom item from a third-party plug-in that has ItemBridge integration
• simple: choose an item from vanilla minecraft
• with data value (1.12): choose an item from vanilla minecraft with a data value (in minecraft 1.12 and earlier, data values were used for things like wool colors and wood types)
• Copy from your server: an ingredient that is copied from your server. This option allows you to pick any item on your server, and only accept that item (and identical) items as ingredient. For instance, you can use this for an ingredient that only accepts iron swords with sharpness 3. Click the copy from your server button for instructions on how to do this.
  Note: do NOT use this on custom items from this plug-in: it may seem to work as first, but this plug-in does some hidden internal administration on custom items that can break the recipe anytime in the future.
• Set empty: the slot that corresponds to this ingredient must be empty

Remaining item

The Remaining item can be used to replace the ingredient with another item rather than removing it upon crafting. For instance, you can choose a bucket as the remaining item of a lava bucket ingredient. When the result item is crafted, the lava bucket will be replaced with an empty bucket rather than disappearing entirely.
The currently selected remaining item is displayed around the bottom-right of the page ("Currently none" in the screenshot above).
Note: the Remaining item is basically a result, so when you click on the Change button, you can configure it in the Choose result menu.
Empty ingredients can not have a remaining item.

Constraints

The Constraints can be used to add extra requirements to the ingredient. For instance, you can require the ingredient to have enough remaining durability or require it to have a specific enchantment. Constraints are most useful for tools. Click the Constraints... button to start configuring them.
