Use Tags and Fluids as Recipe Ingredients

Clicking a Slot for Tags

Press K to open the editor and create or edit a recipe. Click an ingredient slot to open the item picker.

Selecting a Tag

Instead of picking a single item, look for a Tags tab or filter in the picker menu. Search for the tag name (for example, search for "logs" or "planks"). Select the tag—it will appear in the slot with a special indicator showing it accepts any item in that tag.

Using Fluids

For recipes that accept fluids (like Create Mixing or Mekanism Combining), click a fluid input slot. The picker switches to a fluid browser. Search for your fluid by name and select it. Set the fluid amount using the count field in the side panel.

Verification

Tag and fluid slots display differently from item slots in the editor, making them easy to spot. Export your recipe to confirm the script correctly references tags or fluids before saving.
