Crafting command

We currently have /recipe which shows you the different ways to craft an item, and /craft which opens up a crafting table for you. As well as /pack which condenses items for you into blocks.

So why isn't there a command that essentially puts all three of these together? Where if you have the correct number of items you can do something like /recipe and just take the finished product out of the right side of the display in exchange for the ingredients needed to craft?

The main reason I suggest this is that crafting large amounts of certain items like books, bookcases, pistons, etc. things that require a lot of different items and you generally craft more than a couple stacks of gets very tedious and annoying.

If this command is so "unnecessary" or "difficult" to program then why does /pack exist? Atleast that's my view on it, it may take awhile to program but it would function relatively the same.

Ex. (Craft is already a command so would change name)

/craft 64 book
Consumes 64 leather and 192 paper and returns a stack of books

Thoughts?

 

I mean, this gets rid of the entire point of "Craft" in Minecraft.

 

We have access to a lot of commands the make a lot of things in vanilla minecraft pointless. I don't see why people always make such a big fuss over adding suggestions like Langston's.

 

The macros would be terrible though

 

Denied. This is a cool concept, But at the end of the day we just made it convenient. We don't want to take the Minecraft away from Minecraft
