Craftingmenu Ingredients

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-08

Overview

CraftingMenuIngredients is a UI widget responsible for visually rendering ingredient requirements of a crafting recipe. It dynamically constructs a row of IngredientUI child widgets based on the recipe’s ingredients, character_ingredients, tech_ingredients, and optional amulet discount display. It interacts with the player's builder and inventory replicated components to determine ingredient availability and uses game mode properties to control visual effects like ui_cc shaders.

Usage example

local owner = ThePlayer
local recipe = GetRecipe("stone_patina")
local ingredients_widget = CreateWidget(CraftingMenuIngredients, owner, 6, recipe, nil)
ingredients_widget:SetPosition(0, 0)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: builder, inventory (accessed via owner.replica) Tags: Checks greenamulet on equipped body item to conditionally show amulet discount; checks health_as_oldage to substitute health ingredient.
