In BTA they basically let you see the uses of the items but they don't tell you whats left for the recipe your are looking for, so if you get sticks, you can see where sticks should go in the diamond sword recipe for example, but you can only see the outline of the diamonds and not what item that is, and so you need to first find the material and then work your way into finding the other missing pieces...

Having this as a config option would be cool

Here are some screenshots showcasing this in Better Than Adventure:

they still display the outline of the crafting recipe + station but don't necessarily show you the recipe only until you actually unlock/grab all material for that recipe

(Also, just a side question, why don't you guys open a discord server for you all to discuss ideas like these, it'd be neat)
