Issue description

This one has been present since forever, and it's still present in Mcreator 1.8.0. If I want to make grass blocks craftable from dirt and seeds, for example, items on the crafting grid must be arranged exactly like in the editor. If the items are arranged in any other way (with one exception), the recipe will not work.

I made a picture illustrating the problem – see the attachment.

Issue comments

Right now, the best option for such case would be shapeless recipe. "Smarter recipes" are in plan in this ticket: https://mcreator.net/tracker/issue/43340

(I have added your picture to the original ticket as it is quite descriptive)
