Upgrading recipes are a specific type of station recipes. They allow any player to upgrade a specific items, using ingredients. These recipes do also support recipe conditions and other recipe options like `hide-when-locked`. You should consider learning about [[crafting stations||Crafting-Stations]] before reading how to setup upgrading recipes.
## Upgrading Recipe Example
```
recipes:
steel-sword-upgrade:
item:
type: SWORD
id: STEEL_SWORD
conditions:
- 'level 5'
ingredients:
- 'mmoitem MATERIAL STEEL_INGOT 4 Steel_Ingot'
```
This upgrade recipe allows players to upgrade the item named `Steel Sword`. This type of recipes do **NOT** support crafting time, therefore they must all be instant, as if you used a consumable. In order to use this recipe, the player must be at least level 5, and must have 4 steel ingots in his inventory.\
Of course, the player must also have one of these Steel Swords when using the recipe, otherwise he will be prompted an error message.
