1.12 Recipe enhancements

1-THOUGHTS

Basic loading.
To be done on ServerInit. This means things will load multiple times on the client.
  Benifits:
    Allows us to just nuke the custom recipes every server init
    Allows us to have save leve overrides.
    Primes us for syncing recipe types/contents S->C {Not gunna happen in 1.12, but I expect Mojang to work twards this in 1.13+}
  Cons:
    Increases single player server load time. No known stats at the moment but shouldn't be TO bad
    
Loading Process:
  BootStrap: Vanilla loads their internal recipes, we'll freeze this registry and revert to it at the beginning of ServerInit
  Gather Factories:
    Gather a list of IRecipe, and Ingredient factories. 
    Loop through all mod jars/directories and load /assets/MODID/recipes/_factories.json
    Names will automatically be prefixed with modid domains. Error if name contains : to dissallow overriding other's factories
  Gather Constants:
    Done as a second pass to allow modders to depend on other mods ingredient factories
    Loop through all mods, loading /assets/MODID/recipes/_constants.json
    Add to a central dictionary as modid:name, so mods can't overlap eachother. Again, error if people try to overwrite other's    
  Load jsons from Mod Jars:
    Loop through all mods, loading /assets/MODID/recipes/[!_factories && !_constants].json
    Register to central regirsty as modid:jsonFileName like vanilla does
  Fire RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipe>:
    Fire code event to allow people to create recipes in code?
  Loading from modpack/config folder?
    Check Forge config for a 'recipes_folder', or explicitly check GameDir/custom_recipes and load all recipes there.
    Loads from all asset domains, automatically skipping the ones that do not match a loaded modid.
    This should behave the same as loading from a single jar file.
    Should we add a global FACTORIES/CONSTANTS json?
  Loading from world folder?
    Same as loading from modpacks folder but happens afterwords so that worlds override both modpacks and jars.

Conditions:
  Simple conditions to determine if we should load the recipe, or set the constant. 
  All entries must return true.
  Allow custom condition types defined in FACTORIES?
  Types to add:
    mod_loaded: modid
    item_exists: itemname
    not: [conditions] -- Inverts a condition, can be nested
    or: condition1, condition2

@Gaelan That just results in a json configurable oredict. I'm not sure that is beneficial.

Having runtime condition factories would be useful, they could be added as ingredients in json for more advanced modpack configuration.

can it be made possible to specify multiple Recipes in one json? ie replace the top JsonObject witn an JsonArray, which then in return contains multiple JsonObjects (which have to be given a individual name manually)

I actually made a different recipes format as well; perhaps you could look into it, it may be of use to you too.

alright, RegistryEvent you are my friend

Thanks for leaving RegistryEvent option :P

Don't expect it as of 1.13, Its only in because I know people will bitch if its removed directly.
This is a first round of the json format. Its not perfect but its functional for 99% of use cases.

i might be a bit late, but is there a way to set the amount of results? (e.g pumpkin -> pumpkin seeds)

Is there any update on the correct procedure for removing a vanilla recipe in 1.12?
