Crafting Table +

I saw a video from "wattles" where he showed a Blue Sky post from Jens where he said that changing the Crafting System is not really a thing the majority at Mojang wants to do. I suppose the idea of changing it in the first place came from how limited the grid crafting actually is. You have to create a unique recipe for every craftable item/block. So I came to the idea of adding a new crafting table that still uses the 3x3 crafting grid but has more than a single output for what you can craft this recipe into. Imagin Mojang wants to add a hammer but the only recipe they come up with is the same of the pick axe. With the better crafting table you can make this recipe and now you get two options: the pick axe and the hammer. You could just change the normal crafting system where you now get more output options. Or you add a new better crafting table. It should be a late game block that could be added with a potential end update.
