Crafting Combat Gear in JCRAFT: Eyes of Ender

guide

This guide covers the crafting recipes for weapons, armor, and tools used to fight enemies in the JCRAFT: Eyes of Ender mod.

Boxing Gloves

The Boxing Gloves are a close-combat weapon that you can craft early on. They require a shaped crafting pattern using five pieces of Leather, one Red Dye, and two pieces of String. Arrange the leather to form the bulk of the glove, place the red dye in the center for color, and use the string to tie it together. These gloves serve as a basic but reliable option for hand-to-hand encounters.

Bullet

The Bullet is an ammunition item, likely used with a firearm. Its shaped recipe calls for one Copper Ingot, four Gold Nuggets, one Gunpowder, and one Polished Blackstone Button. The copper forms the casing, the gold nuggets provide the projectile mass, gunpowder supplies the propellant, and the blackstone button acts as the primer. Craft bullets in batches to ensure you have enough for extended fights.

Peacemaker

The Peacemaker is a powerful ranged weapon, though its name is ironic given its purpose. To craft it, you need a shaped pattern using one Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate, three Iron Ingots, one Block of Iron, one Iron Bars, and one Stripped Oak Wood. The pressure plate likely forms the trigger mechanism, the iron components build the barrel and frame, and the wood serves as the grip. This is a resource-intensive recipe, so gather plenty of iron before attempting it.

Knife

The Knife is a simple, throwable or melee weapon. Its shaped crafting recipe is straightforward: one Iron Nugget, one Iron Ingot, and one Stick. Place the iron ingot as the blade, the nugget as the tip or guard, and the stick as the handle. Knives are cheap to produce, making them ideal for quick skirmishes or as a backup when your main weapon breaks.

Knife Bundle

The Knife Bundle is a shapeless recipe that consolidates your arsenal. By combining nine individual Knives in any arrangement, you create a single Knife Bundle. This is useful for saving inventory space, as it packs nine throwing weapons into one slot. You can likely unpack it later, but the bundle itself may also have a unique throwing behavior.

Road Roller

The Road Roller is a devastating, heavy-duty tool of destruction. Its complex shaped recipe requires two Iron Bars, two Yellow Dye, two Blocks of Iron, one Gas Can, two Grindstones, and one Blast Furnace. The iron blocks form the roller drum, the grindstones act as the axles or gears, the blast furnace provides the engine, and the gas can fuels it. The yellow dye gives it its iconic color. This is a late-game item meant to crush enemies with overwhelming force.

General Crafting Tips

Always check your inventory for the correct materials before approaching a crafting table, as several recipes require rare components like Gold Nuggets or Polished Blackstone.
Prioritize gathering Iron in large quantities, as it appears in most of the combat gear recipes, from the basic Knife to the massive Road Roller.
Organize your storage so that you can quickly access the specific ores, dyes, and mechanical parts needed for each weapon. Since many recipes are shaped, you must place items in the exact pattern shown in your crafting guide.
For disposable weapons like the Knife, consider crafting a Knife Bundle to carry more ammunition without cluttering your hotbar.
