How to do a 4x4 Grid Crafting table Wich can work as any crafting table of vanilla plus a 4x4 one

Hi! probably is a lot of topics like this ,but right now im slowly learning and doing stuff at MCreator and i wanted to create at first a 4X4 Crafting table that can work as a vanilla one, is any way of doing that ?

I am also learning MCreator, but having made mods for years I grasp it fairly well, and to my understanding, the only way to do that would be to re-create every single vanilla recipe for your procedure/table. The issue with that is, its a lot of code that already exists in the game, so it kind of doesn't make sense to add tons of scripting just to repeat the same code.

The other issue is the recipes. Again, I'm still learning myself, so I could be wrong, but from my own testing, when you make recipes for vanilla things, which would be a basic 3x3, when you go to craft that item, it has to be specifically in the correct slots, every time. So to make a sword, it would have to be exactly bottom left for a stick, and 2 ingots above it. Cannot move it over a column. Now, again, while it would be possible to create a recipe for every row/column variation, you'd be looking at an extensive amount of recipes, for vanilla items that already have recipes on a working table.

My advice, would be to keep the table separate.
