Crafting - Spark Plugin v1.5 is a no-code plugin for Unity by Blink that enables developers to create full RPGs, survival games, and other interactive experiences without writing scripts. The plugin provides a custom editor that allows full game functionality through visual design, with optional C# extensions for custom mechanics.
Key features include:
- **Crafting Recipes**: Create unlimited recipes with categories, item production, ingredient consumption, craft duration, and trigger sequences on completion for rewards like experience or achievements.
- **Recipe Categories**: Organize recipes into filterable categories (e.g., Smithing, Alchemy) displayed in a sidebar; an "All" category groups all unlocked recipes.
- **Recipe Knowledge System**: Recipes are not available by default and must be unlocked via triggers, quests, or NPC interactions. Auto-Learn recipes are unlocked at initialization. Recipes can be removed from knowledge at any time.
- **Craft Queue**: Players select craft quantities using a slider, input field, and buttons. The UI enforces maximum craftable amounts based on inventory and processes crafts sequentially, consuming ingredients as needed.
- **Requirements**: Gate content using the Crafting plugin’s requirement system, including "Has Crafting Recipe" to check if a player has unlocked a specific recipe.
- **User Interface**: Includes a sidebar with category counts, recipe lists grouped or flat by selection, real-time color indicators (green for available, red for missing ingredients), recipe info panels showing item rarity and ingredient quantities, and a craft amount selector that updates dynamically. During crafting, a progress bar replaces the selector, showing time remaining and a cancel option. The UI auto-refreshes in real time when inventory changes.
- **Trigger Integration**: Fully compatible with Spark Triggers. Supports "Learn Crafting Recipe" and "Unlearn Crafting Recipe" to unlock or remove recipes with configurable delays.
- **Extensions**: When the Quests plugin is installed, two optional extensions are enabled:
- **Quest Objectives Extension**: Adds "Craft Recipe" and "Unlock Recipe" objectives to track craft counts or recipe unlocks.
- **Quest Rewards Extension**: Adds an "Unlock Crafting Recipe" reward to grant recipe knowledge upon completing a quest.
- **Save System Integration**: All unlocked recipe knowledge is automatically saved and restored across game sessions.
The plugin is designed for ease of use and seamless integration into Spark-based game development workflows, offering a powerful, visual crafting system without requiring code. Available on the Unity Asset Store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/crafting-spark-plugin-349822
