Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The recipe book is quite difficult to use on controller, for example when you click on something to craft
you have to move the virtual cursor all the way over to the right and drag the item into your inventory

Describe the solution you'd like
When the recipe book is open, there should be a selection highlight around a crafting option that you can move around, not like a cursor, but rigidly on a grid.
Pressing a button, for example, A, would craft the item instantly and put it in an empty slot in your inventory.
Another button could be pressed to craft as many of that item as you can (like shift-clicking on KB&M).
This would work similarly to the crafting UI on Legacy Console versions of Minecraft but with the Java recipe book

Maybe there could be an optional button binding in the settings for opening the inventory with the recipe book already opened too

Additional context

In the meantime, you can achieve similar functionality using other mods. I personally use Better Recipe Book, which adds a button to toggle auto-crafting behaviour that mimics your suggestion
