[Meta] Item & Recipe Integration (Forge Tags)

[vectorwing]

I haven't fully implemented compatibility and integration on the mod's items yet, and I'm still wondering what is the best way to approach that. For example: tagging items like Rice so that other mods can use it on rice-related recipes (forge:rice?).

If anyone has resources or recommendations on how to go about this, or how other farming mods do it, please let me know here!

Also, if anyone's savvy with it, we're open to pull requests tagging either items or recipes to be compatible with recipes/ingredients of other mods!

Hello, I believe Simple Farming does something similar, it uses tags by putting fruits and veggies in tags such as forge:crops/onions, forge:vegetables/onions, and forge:fruits/orange.

Hmm! SF and Pam's seem to share a lot of tags, though Pam's really covers every use case it has. I'll adopt those. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi again!
Mulch is missing the forge:dirt tag, which means modded plants can't be placed on it or be used in recipes. Maybe the same for Organic Compost?

And if wild crops are given the minecraft:small_flowers tag, bees will pollinate them. :)

Bees are already pollinating the crops with the recent commits, don't know about mulch though

[WenXin20]

Oh, I meant the wild crop plants that spawn in the world.

Oh yeah, I added them to minecraft:small_flowers like you suggested! Bees are now attracted to them as blocks and can be bred with them. It's in the newest branch, feature/moar-foods. I'm checking the other tags as well, and adding some I missed (such as forge:rawfish and forge:cookedfish

Integration seems good for now, I'll reopen this some other time.
