Problem description

(again, this is actually pertaining to 1.19, not 1.18. there isn't a 1.19 enhancement template yet)

When creating a part in the part builder, a material cost is displayed for how much of the material you need to create the part. On the contrary, when shaping a sand cast using the part builder, the material cost is not displayed. This seems intentional (or at the very least, doesn't seem like a bug), but being able to see the material cost when shaping the cast would be more convenient than having to comb through JEI to see the material cost.

Suggested solution

Simply displaying the pattern cost in the same spot it displays when creating tool parts using patterns would suffice. I made a proof of concept image which has been posted in the "additional context" section.

Alternatives considered

The material cost could alternatively be displayed on the cast's tooltip for a functionally similar effect.

Additional context

Proof of concept edited GUI image for my suggestion. The specific point of interest is the text that says "Pattern cost: 2". It is identical to how it would appear as if a pattern were in the first slot instead of a sand cast.

Used the search bar, Checked the FAQ, Checked the in game books

In the next 1.19.2 update, material costs are displayed in cast tooltips, which will work for all tool part casts. Non-tool parts have no material cost to speak of so don't have anything reasonable to display. I'll check if there is an easy spot to display it in the part builder info panel, but if not I'll call the tooltip adding this feature.
