Similar to Advanced Rocketry's machines, the Forging Hammer would pull its recipes from a configuration file. Allows custom/configurable recipes, since it's a pretty cool machine that has a lot of potential for user customization and modpacks.

This feature is already available with CraftTweaker!

From the older wiki: https://github.com/SonarSonic/Practical-Logistics/wiki/Integration

Ah, no wonder I couldn't find any CraftTweaker documentation. Maybe this suggestion should be "update wiki for Practical Logistics 2". ;)

Either way, I still like the idea of configurable recipes with first-party mod configs. Fewer dependencies, better support, etc. So the suggestion still stands if you're willing to consider it.
