Upon creating a new world (Survival Single-Player tested), launching that world, and attempting to use the player's 2 x 2 crafting grid for any recipe, the game will crash to desktop upon attempting to craft the item. This behavior only occurs if the player does not access the recipe book before crafting; if the recipe book is opened, the 2 x 2 crafting grid will work as expected, even after the recipe book is closed, or if the items are placed into the crafting grid manually.

I am a little upset that this was removed. it was a bad thing but i figured out a way to use it as a dupe glitch by saving the world with stuff in a chest then going in taking the stuff causing the game to crash and then going back in and it would be in both my inventory and in the chest. it was pretty awesome. i really want to find another way to crash the game to see if it still works with a different crash method.
The bug is marked as "Fixed" but there is not yet a pre2 release. The game is crashing all the time. Is there a workaround while waiting for the next release? (I notice that not all players are affected by this crash)
