# Crafting your machine

Add a recipe for crafting a custom machine item.

All the machines share the same item, with Id : `custommachinery:custom_machine_item` the machine the item will be linked to is defined with nbt.

The nbt key is `machine` and its value should be the machine id like: `custommachinery:power_crusher` (the namespace should always be included).

Vanilla json recipes, Crafttweaker and KubeJS have different ways to handle items nbt so I will put an example of each below.

The recipe will be: ![recipe](https://github.com/Frinn38/Custom-Machinery/raw/1.16.5/wiki/machine_recipe.png)
