Output Entries

Output entries define what a recipe produces.

Simple output

{
  "type": "mm:output/simple",
  "per_tick": false,
  "chance": 1.0,
  "ingredient": {
    "type": "mm:item",
    "item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
    "count": 1
  }
}

Field	Meaning
`type`	Use `mm:output/simple` for normal outputs.
`per_tick`	Optional. When true, produces 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 output is never produced. If chance is 1, it is always produced.

Weighted choice output

Use mm:output/weighted when a recipe should produce one result from a weighted list, such as a loot-table roll:

{
  "type": "mm:output/weighted",
  "options": [
    {
      "weight": 3,
      "ingredient": { "type": "mm:item", "item": "minecraft:iron_nugget", "count": 4 }
    },
    {
      "weight": 1,
      "ingredient": { "type": "mm:item", "item": "minecraft:gold_nugget", "count": 1 }
    },
    { "weight": 1, "nothing": true }
  ]
}

Exactly one option is selected when the recipe finishes. The relative chance is each option’s positive integer weight divided by the sum of all weights. An option can use nothing: true to represent no output. The entry-level chance can also be used to make the entire weighted roll optional.

The controller checks output capacity before it starts consuming a recipe. If outputs become blocked while a recipe is finishing, the completed recipe remains pending until space is available; it does not consume inputs again or discard the result.

Scaled and flex outputs

Simple outputs can use scale_by to multiply the output amount using an as name from mm:input/count or mm:input/flex. mm:output/flex creates a separate item output for each kind selected by a flex input. See Flex Recipes and Counted Inputs for examples and supported fields.
