UniTweak
by QueerCoded
UniTweak extends CraftTweaker so that recipes can match whole resource families, such as every ingot or every ore of a metal, instead of single items.
What it does
Normal CraftTweaker methods create recipes for specific inputs and outputs. The methods UniTweak adds take a kind of input and output instead, and build recipes that match a pattern across the resource kinds that a modded game defines for a metal. The pattern is drawn from UniDict, so a recipe written once covers every item that belongs to the same resource group, including ores, ingots and dust.
The mod is written for modpack authors and anyone scripting recipes in a Forge 1.12.2 setup. Installation covers the server and each player's game. UniTweak is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, with 0.1.1 as the latest file, a beta build dated 2022-06-02. The source is open and the code is released under the MIT License.
When Immersive Engineering is present, UniTweak can also write recipes for its machines, and the wiki lists the methods and their usage.
Key features
Pattern-based recipe methods
CraftTweaker methods accept a resource kind rather than a single item, so one script line can cover many matching items.
UniDict resource groups
Recipes use the resource groups defined through UniDict, which tie ores, ingots and dust of one metal together.
Metal Press recipes
Immersive Engineering's Metal Press can take a pattern input and turn ingots into their corresponding blocks.
Crusher and Embers recipes
The Crusher can process metal ores from several mods, and Embers' stamper can turn molten metal into its matching gears.
Supported mods list
Immersive Engineering and Embers Rekindled are the supported mods, and the wiki documents the available methods and their usage.

Use cases
Modpack recipe scripts
A pack author can write one recipe that covers every variant of a metal rather than listing each item separately.
Who it’s for: The mod suits modpack authors and scripters who already use CraftTweaker on Forge 1.12.2 and want pattern matching across resource families. Players who only use the finished pack have no direct need for it.

What the author says
UniTweak is a mod that adds CraftTweaker methods which can create recipes for other mods based on patterns instead of items. It does this using the UniDict API. In a modded Minecraft game you will have a set of resources (ie iron, copper, lead) which each have specific items associated with them (ie ores, ingots…
