OnMixingTableFinished
OnMixingTableFinished is called after a MixingTable completes its mixing cycle, once the ingredients are consumed and the produced items have been created inside the table's output slot.
void OnMixingTableFinished(MixingTable mixingTable, BasePlayer startingPlayer, Recipe recipe, int quantity)Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
mixingTable | MixingTable | The MixingTable entity that finished producing. Use it to read the table's position, owner ID, inventory or flags for notifications and placement effects. |
startingPlayer | BasePlayer | The BasePlayer recorded as MixStartingPlayer on the table when mixing began. It can be null if no player was stored, so always null-check before using it. |
recipe | Recipe | The Recipe that was produced. Gives ProducedItem (item definition and amount), ingredients and the table's recipe index are not needed here since quantity is passed separately. |
quantity | int | How many crafting runs were completed, so the total output is recipe.ProducedItem.amount multiplied by this value. |
Return value
The hook's return value is ignored because MixingTable.ProduceItem returns void. Return nothing and let the game continue its normal path; nothing you return can cancel production, which has already happened by the time the hook fires.
How it works
The hook fires inside MixingTable.ProduceItem, after the table has set its pending item id, stopped mixing, consumed the recipe ingredients and created the finished items. That means by the time your method runs, the output already exists in the table's inventory and pendingItemId points at it. It is called once per completed cycle, not per tick, so it is safe for light work.
mixingTable is the entity itself, useful for position, OwnerID or inventory. startingPlayer is the stored MixStartingPlayer and may be null. recipe exposes ProducedItem (an ItemAmount with itemid, amount, itemDef) so you can identify the output, and quantity tells you how many runs finished.
There is only one injection site and the original method returns void, so the return value is ignored. Declaring mixingTable as a more specific type such as BaseEntity has no practical narrowing effect here, but it is still checked during dispatch. Keep the handler short: notifications, statistics or bonus item grants.

}The plugin hooks OnMixingTableFinished and returns early if mixingTable, recipe, or recipe.ProducedItem is null. It builds a readable message from recipe.ProducedItem and a total computed as Math.Max(1, recipe.ProducedItemCount) * Math.Max(1, quantity). If NotifyPlayer is enabled and the starting player is connected, it sends a chat message to that player using the Ready language key. If Broadcast is enabled, it sends the Broadcast language key to the whole server, naming the starting player's displayName or Someone if they are null. Both messages go through the language file, so admins can translate them. No data is written and nothing is cancelled.
Common use cases
Notify the crafter
Send a chat line to the player who started mixing so they know the table finished without walking back to check.
Log production statistics
Record how many explosives or other mixed items were produced per player for economy or activity tracking.
Grant bonus output
Give extra items or a small reward to the starting player when a high-value recipe such as explosives completes.
Pitfalls
startingPlayer can be null
The stored MixStartingPlayer is not guaranteed to be set, for example after a server restart. Guard every use of it.
Do not try to cancel
The hook fires after ingredients are consumed and items created, and the return value is ignored. Use OnMixingTableToggle or input hooks if you need to block mixing beforehand.
quantity multiplies output
reporting recipe.ProducedItem.amount alone understates the total. Multiply it by quantity to get the real production count.
