# Status element
The status element is used to shown the crafting status of the custom machine in the Machine GUI.
Status element must be defined in json like : `"type": "custommachinery:status"`.
The crafting status of a custom machine can be `IDLE`, `RUNNING` or `ERRORED`.
`IDLE` mean the machine can't craft any recipes (because of missing inputs)
`RUNNING` mean the machine is currently processing a recipe
`ERRORED` mean the machine encountered an error while processing a recipe, the error message will be displayed as a tooltip when you hover the Status Element with your mouse.
