I tried adding a recipe for Tequila using Blue Orchids, Melon, and Sugar Cane. When I loaded it up and tried adding melons and orchids to the cauldron, it wouldn't accept them. What am I doing wrong here?

11:
name: Poor Tequila/Tequila/Hard Tequila
ingredients:
- SUGAR_CANE/1
- 38,1/3
- 360/1
cookingtime: 3
distillruns: 6
color: DARK_RED
difficulty: 3
alcohol: 25
effects:
- POISON/10-20
- STRENGTH/20-40

In place of item ID for the orchid, I also tried "RED_FLOWER,1"

Thanks for the help!

The block that is grown is: melon_block or 103
The melon slices you get from a melon block is: melon or 360

-If you are using ID 360 and trying to add the melon_block to the cauldron then it won't work, use melon slices instead.
-It may also be how you did the ingredients in the "cooked:" list below all the recipes. Make sure it is properly done. All new ingredients you want to use need to be listed there.
-If you find that you can't put any ingredients into your cauldron,

1: The alignment of Number of the Recipe, is off by one space or more,
in relation to the rest of the recipes.
2: Make sure the recipes are numbered properly. If you accidentally
skip a number or copied and pasted without renumbering.
3: Make sure you don't leave out a word in the recipe like "effects:"
and still list types of effects under it.

Your ingredients in the "cooked:" section should look something like this with # comments to help you remember things:

WHEAT: Fermented wheat
SUGAR_CANE: Sugar brew
APPLE: Apple cider
POTATO_ITEM: Potatomash
RED_MUSHROOM: Mushroom brew
'#' Melon Slices,
103: Fruity Flavoring
'#' Flowers, not including 37 Yellow_flower or tall flowers,
38: Floral Note

here is my whole code that I have. I have tried to add these two new recipes in the bottom numbers 11 and 12 and it is not working. The snowballs or the regular plain sugar is not adding itself to the game. I added them into cooked items and did the recipe correctly by what I see. Please help me figure out why it is not working. Thank you so much.

@Annahstas

It is difficult to see the proper format for your config in this type of posting. Being able to discern the spacing is also needed in finding out various bugs. Normally, it is better to upload the config.yml file then link it here. That way people that want to help will be able to help a bit better since they can spot spacing issues.

Are you getting error messages in your server console when it first starts with this config.yml file? If so, what are they specifically?

In regards to "snowball" I use the data value number for it.

In the recipe I use this (example of 9 snowballs being used):

  '#' SNOWBALL
  - 332/9

In the "cooked" section I use this,

'#' SNOWBALL
332: Shaved Ice

For SUGAR I just use the word "SUGAR".

The biggest problem I see with your new recipes is the short cooking time "cookingtime: 1". In all of my recipes (260 of them so far) I always have a cooking time of 3 minutes or longer. I found that things didn't work quite right when it was set lower than that. If you are not getting invalid ingredient errors in your console, try upping the cooking times to 3+ minutes.
