When the crafter is facing a full inventory (chest etc) and then crafts a recipe, it'll shoot it out as an item, instead of failing to craft and keeping the items inside the crafter inventory. This results in dropped/wasted items whenever your storage gets full. Droppers do not share this functionality.
How to reproduce
1. Setup a crafter so that it has the materials to craft a recipe
2. Put a chest in front of the crafter and fill every slot
3. Power the crafter, the crafted item will shoot out and land on the ground.
Expected result
The crafter should fail to craft its item, since the inventory in front of it is full. Shooting out the item allows them to despawn, wasting items.
This bug affects bedrock & java
