also the 'disabled' slots should have a tooltip indicating you can click them to re-enable em nvm this is not a feature in vanilla either (which it should wtf mojang)

you can also use it as a normal crafting table, as in, you can manually pick the output recipe.
I put this here because I think is the samey issue?

There is a dupe related to the ability to pull items from the crafting slot. and it looks like the crafting slot doesn't get updated when you shift click. No dupe when you power the Crafter with redstone
