# Recipes

This system allows you to build multi-stage, interactive crafting recipes with items, timers, mini-games, and more.

### :yellow\_circle: How to Create a Recipe

1. Open the menu:\
   \&#xNAN;**`/lcooking menu`**
2. Click the `Recipes` button.
3. Drag your future **result item** into the **Add** button.\
   A new recipe file will be created automatically, with this item set as the final reward.
4. Click the newly created recipe in the list to open its configuration menu.

### :yellow\_circle: Stage Configuration

After selecting a recipe, you enter the **Stage Configuration** screen.\
Here you define how the crafting process will work.

#### Adding a Stage

Press **Add**, then choose one of the stage types:

#### **1. Add Item**

A stage where the player must insert required items.

* Place items into the `Add` button to add them to the requirements list.

#### **2. Wait**

A timed waiting stage.\
The player must simply wait for the process to complete.

#### **3. MiniGame**

A stage that requires completing a mini-game before proceeding.

### :yellow\_circle: Stage Flow

Stages are executed sequentially:

* When the player completes the current stage, the system moves to the next.
* When the last stage finishes successfully, the player receives the final result.
* If the player fails the recipe at any point, all items they inserted are returned.

### :yellow\_circle: Stage Settings

Each stage has additional configuration options:

#### **• Stage Duration**

You can define a time limit for the stage.\
If the player fails to complete the stage before the time ends, the recipe fails.

#### **• Tooltip**

Text hints and messages shown during cooking.\
Supports placeholder:

* **`%time%`** — displays remaining time

Tooltips help guide the player throughout the crafting process.
