Recipes Documentation - minecraft:recipe_shapeless

A shapeless crafting recipe for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Shapeless recipes allow ingredients to be placed in any order and position on the crafting grid, unlike shaped recipes that require specific patterns.

Note

Starting in 1.19.40, ingredient entries may specify a 'tag' instead of an 'item', allowing the recipe to accept any item that belongs to the named item tag.
