Mass crafting works very strangely, crafting several items and starts just throwing out everything you need for craft, mouse scrolling periodically turns off, although I moved the mod's on/off hotkey to the one that I never accidentally press (Home). Recently, the mod does not work at all, regardless of whether it is enabled or not. It worked fine on 1.17.1, but when I downloaded it for 1.18.2, it completely broke.

The 1.18.2 version changed how massCraft works by default. Try disabling the massCraftSwaps option (and possibly also useRecipeCaching), which should return the massCraft functionality pretty close to the old behavior.

I don't think there should be many other changes in general from 1.17 or earlier. Do you mean some other stuff as well still doesn't work even when you don't accidentally keep disabling the mod? Or is it mostly just the massCraft feature that is "broken" (and works very differently)?

masscrafting still doesn't work correctly (before disabling the rateLimitClickPackets function, it was crafting 1 item from each stack of materials, but after disabling it, I stopped crafting at all, just threw away all the materials), and I can't accidentally turn off the mod, since I just don't touch the Home key (on which I set the hotkey). If needed, i could attach gif video of a non-working mass crafting

and I also noticed that during the disabling of the mouse scrolling mod, mouse scrolling turns off at all and does not scroll through the GUI pages.
