This document describes the Recipe functionality developed as part of the Project solution. The focus of this feature is to help the business quickly identify Minecraft items, understand their properties, and prepare accurate printed material using an innovative search-based approach.
Business Problem
When working with Projects, users often need to reference Minecraft items for recipes. Searching for items manually or relying on external websites is time-consuming and slows down project preparation.
Solution Overview
To solve this, we built a custom PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) control using Fluent UI React v9. The control integrates with the Minecraft API to dynamically retrieve item data such as:
– Item name
– Item description
– Item icon
All data is presented directly inside the Model Driven App, eliminating the need to leave the application.
Technical Implementation
The Recipe control is implemented as a PCF control built with:
– Fluent UI React v9 for a modern, consistent user interface
– Minecraft API as the external data source for items and recipes
