Autocrafting with Blast Furnaces

The Blast Furnace's GUI would change to be a 3*3 crafting grid in which the player can make certain things. This unfortunately means it would take times to make metal- and food-based items. Since it is more than just a one-to-one ratio, both workstations could be made autonomous with hopper and rail systems, as long as the player goes into the GUI and puts in the first necessary ingredients. This would mean Furnaces would not consume the item during the process of smelting (all three types). It would also be cool to see the blast furnace be able to smelt some items the currently can only be smelted in Furnaces, like clay and sand. The list of recipes possible in the 3*3 would include things like powered rails, lightning rods and anvils, but not things like netherite ingots, spyglasses and shields. These items would obviously be removed from the crafting table. I think this would be a great addition as I'm planning to make an elaborate underground rail system in 1.17 and this would expedite the process.
