Show possible craftable amount

Selecting a recipe should display the amount of possible crafting operations with the ingredients available.

A big issue with this is that it would be expensive to calculate (since you'd have to essentially scan all inventory content for all ingredients for all recipes that are shown), so at the very least it would have to be gated behind the selection of a single recipe, at which point it could maybe be displayed in some corner with a crafting icon and a number.
An upcoming update to the API should prepare the technical dependencies that are needed to support this feature in the future.
This may not be necessary anymore since there's the preservation upgrade now that will prevent items from being fully used up. I don't think there's any other common usecases for wanting to see how many of a specific item are craftable.
The obvious usecase to me is before going out exploring or mining, I want to make a big stack of food. When I have a choice of several foods with similar hunger and saturation values, I want the one(s) I can make the biggest stack of, to pakc the most food value into the least inventory slots.
Need to figure out a way to display this while keeping things readable (maybe in the tooltip?).
