Hey everybody

Is there a simple way to get the metadata to add a uu matter recipe?

If you do F3-H then that'll show the debug tooltips, which will give you the metadata of any item you hover over.

If you're on 1.7.10 then NEI can do it too.

I am playing FTB Infinity 2.6.0 and i changed the controls now, they are in the config

If you go into the NEI options, Inventory - Item IDs and set it to shown. Then all the items will have their IDs and metadata shown as ID:meta, so you'll use the second part for adding the recipes.

Probably F3-H again, I don't remember setting the item IDs to shown doing that (although it could always be an NEI addon doing it).

1. So you need to press F3+H
2. search the item like Shiny Ingot:

3. Shiny Ingot (#5142/96)
ThermalFoundation:material
ThermalFoundation:material

- ingotPlatinum

4. I will colour it so others know too how to do it. So you need to copy this :ThermalFoundation:material
add the number after slash with a @ symbol like this

ThermalFoundation:material@96

this is the result
