The reason I think this could be a good idea is that some recipes use crafting to do more than simply turn some items into other items.

For example, Vanilla Food Pantry adds multiple kinds of sandwiches that have different properties based on what ingredients are put into the crafting table, or multiple mods that use crafting recipes to link items or change item properties.

Thank you for the suggestion, however it is unlikely to be implemented due to both technical and time constraints.

This mod has already grown far beyond its original scope and I would like to spend my limited time working on other projects. I will keep this open in the backlog for now, but it is unlikely to be implemented.

This is likely not going to be possible without a significant rewrite of the internal recipe handling and I'm not sure how likely I am to do that.

The mod allows copying recipes at face value and turning them into recipes specific for the worktables without retaining a reference to the original recipe or calling any code on the original recipe. This prevents the mod from executing any special behavior that another mod's recipe might introduce.
