Thanks very much for the guides, berber! Greatly appreciated.
Question though, please. I have that silly ambition to make a bunch of new recipes for items that already exist, (as per your slime staff example) but I was wondering if it can all go in one file, or if each recipe needs its own file?

The double slashes are comments. They'll be ignored by the compiler.

Oh, right. The "Sources" folder can actually be created manually. For example, my folder structure currently looks like Terraria -> tAPI -> Mods -> Local | PDB | Sources | Unsorted, whereas each red item is its own unique folder, with the | character just dividing filenames between files. I have no idea where the PDB folder came from, to be honest.
Oddly, I do have folders within the "Sources" folder that are named "Item" rather than "Items" but I'll defer to the advancement of tAPI technology for its correctness.

I support this thread! I also strongly suggest anyone who benefits from the information here like the OP. He has put a lot of time in to making these tutorials, a like is just a small way to say thank you for that effort. Nice work @berberborscing, keep it up

The PNG needs to be in the same folder as the JSON, or use the line
Code:
"texture": Texture/SpookyWoodSwordMinomutchi

One question, are custom recipes supposed to be showed by the Guide? Because i watned to see if it worked, gave the Guide some gel and the slime staff didn't show up as one of the possible recipes, gave him wood, same thing, is this supposed to be that way? Or did i screw up? and if i did please tell me waht i ddi wrong

Is your mod in a sources folder, or is it just in the tAPI Mods folder? You need to make a "Sources" folder and put it in there if so.It's still not working.
(it's probably some really nooby mistake)
Or the texture line is wrong. In that case put the texture next to the weapon JSON in the weapons folder.

I made a "Sources" folder in the "Mods" folder, and put the mod in there. Does the "Sources" folder have to be in "Local"? Or just "Mods"?

I think I did the same thing wrong.

Whether or not you want all the recipes to have individual files is your choice.
If it's all one file, it'll be smaller.
If each recipe has its own file, you can edit them easier.

It works for me. I have to open it through tAPI, though.
