I am trying to change the recipes and it will not work. I think there is an error on your end since you are the only mod I am having trouble with doing so

Is there a log or something?

Not really no, you can try it by changing a recipe through datapack, in my case I was doing it with the crate recipe an replacing the corn with a nether star, nothing was changing in game after a reload

Version and more infomation please.
