[MCPE-79725] Recipe book doesn't show crafting recipes when interacted with (Missing button prompt)

Update on this issue:

You will need to press controller button X in order to see the recipe in the crafting grid.

(We are working on the missing button prompt for this, and will use this ticket to track that particular issue.)

Interacting with an item in the recipe book no longer shows the crafting recipe in the crafting grid if you don't have the required crafting materials in your inventory

I just tried this myself (albiet using KB+M so might be a controller specific thing) and wasn't able to reproduce it.

Does it happen on a new world?

Joseph Mastron 2020-06-23T18:31:34Z

I have verified that it is indeed an issue with controller and not KB + M. Previous controller functionality was that one could highlight a recipe to see the required materials. Now one must actively press x and the recipe will then display as well. So on further exploration, it appears to be an undocumented change in functionality as opposed to a bug.

No offence meant and I am making this comment with the best intentions and having an IT support background... You guys are not managing tickets correctly.

You have duplicated my ticket to this ticket and resolved my ticket, why this is the wrong way to handle tickets...

1 - You no longer have weight to your tickets - how many people experiencing the same problem.

2 - You have duplicated the ticket to another ticket on a different platform (ie, this one on Windows 10 vs mine MCPE-84850 on XBOX)

Now it may be that the versions technically are the same from your point of view, however, you can't be measuring the priority of your tickets if your not taking these elements into consideration.

I will try the workaround Joseph has detailed above tomorrow and report back my findings. Thanks Joseph (only person to update since the 22nd May! Jees...)

Confirmed on Xbox (with controller).

IonicEcko 2020-06-24T06:35:58Z

@unknown: Its important to note, this isn't a support avenue. We only track bugs here. Which might be why you're prior experiences are different.

In the case of your report, it was a duplicate of this one. One bug isn't tracked against multiple platforms using multiple reports. Because Bedrock is a single codebase, many bugs affect every platform and to do so would mean having 5+ copies of every report and expecting people to find the right one (or the volunteer moderators to have to sort the duplicates themselves).

In this case, following your report, this report was updated to reflect the issue affecting multiple devices.

Same issue here with Xbox One X and S.

Omar Moamen 2020-06-24T09:08:28Z

Me too on Xbox one s.

I am also having this problem on ps4 and Switch editions since the new 1.16 version release of yesterday. Both in new worlds and old ones, when opening the Recipe Book and hovering an item, the crafting does not show anymore which materials you need to craft that selected item.

Omar Moamen 2020-06-24T13:48:53Z

You can see the materials if you click on it but you must be able to craft it, therefore you must craft any item to see its materials.

Richard Bayliss 2020-06-24T14:31:30Z

Same crafting problem on Nintendo Switch - very frustrating. Pressing controller button X has no effect. Very frustrating! I wonder which bug will surface next!

RadicalRosco 2020-06-24T16:07:36Z

Confirmed for me, pressing X on the recipe book items displays the crafting recipe, no prompt as described above, I see the ticket has been updated.

@IonicEcko I see your point on the use of this as a bug tracker rather than a help desk. Appreciate the candour, and sorry, I was a bit annoyed last night when writing that as me and the kids got the update excitedly to play, but then hit with a raft of problems - now we have fixed them all and now know this workaround I can try and convince them to get back to playing. Thanks.

Arthur Garcia 2020-06-24T17:00:00Z

So yeah, now looks like if you click Square in ps4 the recipe appears. It seems worse than it was before, when by just selecting the item would show the recipe...

Dan Bigler 2020-06-24T19:19:11Z

How do we vote for this to be toggled on by default and then can be turned off so it's always set that way for a user rather than having to press X (or whatever button it is for the specific system) for every item?

Mang Pui Lau 2020-06-25T00:15:02Z

Just wanted to report that I'm also seeing this issue on the Nintendo Switch after the update. Thanks.

Sabrina Sexton 2020-06-26T12:33:51Z

Right after i posted the same problem, i discovered. Us switch users have to press Y to see the recipe.

Mang Pui Lau 2020-06-26T13:13:05Z

Yes, pressing 'y' on the Switch controller works and it also allows us to hover over the materials to see the name of them, which I don't think was something we could do in the previous version. If there was a button prompt as mentioned already above to press 'y' to see the recipe, I think that'd be a great improvement. Thanks, devs!

Katlee Shank 2020-06-28T20:12:33Z

Agreed with the just making it default. Don't understand why an "extra" button press is necessary. Totally changes the flow of using the crafting table and I don't see why that needed "fixed".

Cameron rodman 2020-06-30T22:43:17Z

Still seeing this on Xbox one. I agree, make a hover over state as default show for recipe. No need to require additional button press.

Gabe Klemm 2020-07-12T01:26:40Z

Yeah, on ps4 as well, my friend and I are worried because we've got some serious projects planned with the new blocks and we don't know how to make them. Devs, please, if you could, the next hotfix for the console edition would be greatly appreciated if it was this bug.
