I have tried multiple custom recipes for the megatorch and none are working. It just doesn't change. Every custom recipe I've made for other mods will load after typing /reload but specifically for the megatorch, it doesn't. I know there's nothing wrong with my recipe because it's a direct copy-paste of the original with my alternate ingredients.

Edit: Smithing Recipes do work.
Edit2: I discovered that Torchmaster gets loaded last, even after datapacks, so I'm assuming it overwrites the datapack recipe. It still should be loaded last for the aggressiveSpawn check but before datapacks.
Edit3: Deleting the recipe in the .jar file fixes it, but it's only a workaround. The issue still needs to be fixed.

This should be fixed with the switch to deferred registries (1.19+)
A backport is currently not planned.
