I would like to say I'm sorry for posting an issue in the wrong place first.

I am able to add and remove anything from vanilla crafting. but when i try anything modded it does not work. the chat error complains about syntax. I can't change fuel values, hide items in jei, and maybe more.
I'm able to add and remove recipes for vanilla and for the extended crafting mod easily. but when I try doing something "extra" it does not work.
if anyone can show me the error in my ways, I would be most appreciated.
if i need to setup a github repo, i will.

this is a personal pack that i have not released, mostly used for me and some friends. im in the process of rebuilding for the 5th version

the template specifically asked for scripts on gist.github.com.

if you look at that you posted you will notice the difference between what github shows and what you posted.

sorry, I'm not seeing what the difference is. I have imports but that's not in any error logs.
also sorry ive been at work or i would have messaged back sooner.

i just copied over this line: mods.jei.JEI.hide(minecraft:diamond);//does not work
from: https://github.com/CraftTweaker/CraftTweaker-Documentation/blob/master/docs/Mods/JEI/JEI.md

the chat log says
Parser Exception: furnace_changes.zs19:18: Invalid bracket expression: no prefix minecraft
Parser Exception: furnace_changes.zs19:37: ; expected
scripts are invalid!

if I change the prefix before minecarft to be item:
EX: mods.jei.JEI.hide(item:minecraft:diamond);

then i get the following message: Parser Exception: furnace_changes.zs19:0 Member not found: hide Scripts are invalid!
i copied over the word for word what was in the template. I'm still not getting the hiding to work. I tried vanilla items without nbt and modded.

it may be staring me right in the face but im just not seeing the issue.

i just created a public github for the pack im working on. if that helps. https://github.com/reapersremorse/PackVersions/tree/master/Minecraft_1.16.1/Sanctuary_Sky

i just noticed that what i sent you does not have <> brackets but my code does
and the code does not work, sorry i didnt ni=otice that before im just exhausted

but my code still does not work without or with these

you're looking at the 1.12 docs
https://docs.blamejared.com

all items need to have <item: before them, like so:
<item:minecraft:diamond>

i had

you're looking at the 1.12 docs

all items need to have <item: before them, like so:
item:minecraft:diamond

i had that already.
i found the real fix, i had
mods.jei.JEI.hide(item:minecraft:diamond)
but its changed to
mods.jei.JEI.hideItem(item:minecraft:diamond)

from hide to hideItem

i realize i was looking at older versions of the code. i didnt see the documentation for jeitweaker when i started looking for this.

for some reason my <> brackets keep getting deleted when i post on here. but i have dated documentation showing that my only issue was the hideItem and not the prefix of item

when i started looking for a fix a week ago, i didnt see this jeitweaker documentation on your site, which is why i started looking elsewhere. and i found old examples.

sorry for bothering you.

sorry for bothering you.

Don't be!

It's way better for general questions like this, github is more suited towards bug reports :)
