Input Entries

Input entries define what a recipe checks for and consumes.

Consume input

{
  "type": "mm:input/consume",
  "per_tick": true,
  "chance": 0.5,
  "ingredient": {
    "type": "mm:item",
    "item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
    "count": 1
  }
}

Field	Meaning
`type`	Use `mm:input/consume` for normal consumed inputs.
`per_tick`	Optional. When true, consumes the ingredient every recipe tick instead of at completion.
`chance`	Optional. Random chance from `0.0` to `1.0`; default is `1.0`.
`ingredient`	Ingredient config object. See Ingredient Configs.

If chance is 0, the input is never consumed. If chance is 1, it is always consumed.

Counted and flex inputs

mm:input/count counts matching items in input item ports without consuming them. Its as value can scale an output. mm:input/flex selects several distinct item kinds for one flex recipe; mm:input/flex_match requires a related item for each selected kind. See Flex Recipes and Counted Inputs for their fields, templates, and examples.
