ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
     event.smelting('minecraft:dead_bush', '#c:sapling', 0.35, 100)
})

server_scripts:vanilla/recipes.js#53: Failed to create a 'minecraft:smelting' recipe from args [minecraft:dead_bush, #c:sapling, 0.35, 100.0]: Invalid component 'ingredient' (ingredient) - Component 'ingredient' is not allowed to contain empty values!

do /neoforge tags minecraft:item get c:sapling (or something like that)
if it is empty, well, don't use empty tags

Its definitely not empty, we have get so that all vanilla saplings are included in that tag group. Looks like its just saplings for some reason, even though its a valid tag. I tested with the fences tag and it worked just fine.

It should be c:saplings iirc

It should be c:saplings iirc

When I tried other tag groups I included the # like with #c:fences and #c:mushrooms and it worked fine. I guess ill give it a try and see

No what I mean is the tag is misspelled in your recipe, it should likely be #c:saplings, not #c:sapling

For whatever reason our #c tag did not work but using #minecraft:saplings worked.
