[Feature request] Multiple weight-based mining recipe outputs

[mappleaf]

Will be useful for modpack makers.

Example of new recipe config:

{
  "type": "create_rns:basic_mining",
  "deposit_block": "create_rns:iron_deposit_block",
  "results": [
    {
      "item": "create_rns:impure_iron_ore",
      "chance": 1
    },
    {
      "item": "create_rns:impure_iron_ore",
      "chance": 0.125
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_nugget",
      "chance": 0.125
    }
  ]
}

I have this planned. Will likely implement it soon.

Implemented in the dev branch, but in a slightly different way. A new recipe example:

{
  "type": "create_rns:mining",
  "deposit_block": "create_rns:iron_deposit_block",
  "tier": 1,
  "results": [
    {
      "item": "create_rns:impure_iron_ore",
      "chance_weight": 9
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_nugget",
      "chance_weight": 1
    }
  ]
}

Miner would then mine with the same frequency as before, but in 90% of cases you wold get the impure iron ore, and in 10% of cases you would get an iron nugget.

Chances are initially set as percentages to match the chances that will be shown in JEI. It's not very convenient to calculate the weights when you know the exact percentages you want to set.
Also Create itself uses percentages too.

[BMasta]

I use weights because all of the outputs must add up to 1. Miner will always mine something, but what exactly is determined by weights. Think of it like the recipe for a precision mechanism. You could end up crafting the mechanism or some junk, but never both.

[mappleaf]

I know that weights are suit better for something like that, but consistency with JEI percentages and Create itself should be considered too I think.
You can do it the way you think it will be better, sure. I'm just looking from the modpack dev side.

I updated my JEI plugin to automatically render all recipes with the respective percentages:
