This would make changing a recipe much easier as you would only need the items you wish to replace, For a full expiation I mean that with JEI installed if your in a crafting bench and you are looking at the recipe for a piston and press a + in the corner if you have the items it will put the into the grid for you. But in this case you would not need the items. If this is possible.

Thanks for reading.

I looked into this, but back with NEI it was hard and required a hard dependency.
I now don't have the time right now, but when I do I'll look at the JEI API.

Cool, thanks for taking a look at this!

This mod seems abandoned, but all that is needed is this:

package net.doubledoordev.mtrm.jei;

import mezz.jei.api.IModPlugin;
import mezz.jei.api.IModRegistry;
import mezz.jei.api.recipe.VanillaRecipeCategoryUid;
import net.doubledoordev.mtrm.gui.MTRMContainer;


@mezz.jei.api.JEIPlugin
public class JEIPlugin implements IModPlugin {
	@Override
	public void register(IModRegistry registry) {
		registry.getRecipeTransferRegistry()
				.addRecipeTransferHandler(MTRMContainer.class, VanillaRecipeCategoryUid.CRAFTING, 1, 9, 10, 36);

	}
}
