Crafting table prerequisites/dynamic crafting

A cool way to add depth to crafting, arguably the most integral part of the game, is through Dynamic Crafting. It's actually an idea Notch wanted in the game, and it has the potential to actually be part of a crafting update. Basically, it means crafting tables require physical upgrades in order to craft certain items. An example of this is only being able to make iron armor if you have an anvil next to a furnace, within range of a crafting table.

So why add dynamic crafting to the game? Sure, it sounds tedious to get the 31 iron for an anvil, but the potential to upgrade crafting systems is actually enormous. First off, the fletching and smithing tables could be given functionality, which could then be passed on to the crafting table. For example, being able to craft different tiers of bows(diamond bows when) by having a fletching table near a crafting table. The second reason is that it could encourage creativity in how crafting areas are set up. With the loose guidelines for how certain objects could be crafted, the potential arrangements for these objects are limitless. The final reason is simple; Minecraft has become quite boring for many people. Adding in a new system for crafting has the potential to add a better feeling of progression to the game in a way that doesn't feel as tedious as RLCraft.

    I fully agree with this. This would allow a new and a more fresh experience when it comes to creative building and progression in survival mode. Maybe in the future this can even extend with the smithing table being able to add additions to your gear such as a longer blade to your sword, or maybe some cool looking spikes on your shoulder pads. It would honestly make the game so much more interesting in how new items and features are presented. Great suggestion!

    I agree with this, and i have another idea (for bedrock edition)
    In Java Edition, if you hold shift while Crafting, you get the maximum of one item that you can get with your actual number ingredients.
    That would be cool in Bedrock Edition, but instead if we hold the Craft button, we'll get the items for how much we hold it, instead of clicking to craft every item.

    how about if you put an item behind or on side of it, you will unlock repices.(like if you put a stonecutter near it, you can craft those item without using them.)
