Why is this a WONTFIX? This is a clearly visible issue to users of all abilities and may also be confusing to newer users being introduced to crafting and the recipe book.
While playing on the pre release I have been thrown or confused on many occasion as to why the recipe book has no entry for items I am clearly able to craft, and this has been the cause each time.
A simple example of how this bug can become extremely frustrating - crafting oak fences from a stack of oak logs:
shift-click the oak planks recipe
craft the oak planks
look for sticks recipe, but fail to find it
close inventory/crafting gui
open inventory/crafting gui
look again, find sticks recipe
click sticks recipe a few times
craft the sticks
look for oak fence recipe
fail to find it
close crafting gui
open crafting gui
look again for fence recipe, find it
shift click the oak fence recipe
craft oak fence posts
As you can see, this bug makes multi-step crafting very tedious.
Since this issue is so obvious, and there are so few other issues left in 1.12, I can only assume that the WONTFIX resolution is misleading and it is in fact being triaged, at the very least, for a point release following 1.12?
@@unknown what you are describing sounds like a different bug, mainly that recipes are not unlocked until you close your inventory. This report is about the availability (white / red outline) not updating.
Could you please create a seperate report for that if none exists already?
Workaround for availability not updating: shift-click the crafting output slot while empty, this forces an update.
edit: @@unknown: No, this also happens when all recipes are unlocked.
No, this also happens when all recipes are unlocked.
But that would only be the case if you select to show craftable items only, right? I thought he meant this without it being set and was talking about the actual unlocking.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was using the "Show Craftable" filter in my example.
I did notice that this bug doesn't always happen, perhaps I have been inadvertently using @redstonehelper's shift-click output workaround, or maybe some items aren't affected? I would need to do further testing to make any useful comments about that though, so please take this observation with a grain of salt.
Also, just in case this is item specific, I didn't test the specific example items I listed, I instead came up with an example to demonstrate how multi-step crafting in general is affected by this bug when you use the "Show Craftable" filter.
Probably rather "Won't fix" right?
