There are two types of recipes in minecraft, shaped and shapeless. CustomThings also allows you to add smelting recipes.


Shaped

A shaped recipe is one that has a rigid shape; most recipes use this style. Think pickaxe, or furnace. A shaped recipe can have any height or width, as long as it fits in a 3x3 grid. An example of a shaped recipe smaller than 3x3 is the sword recipe. It is 3 tall and 1 wide, and can thus be made in any column of the grid. KC recipes can be defined like this without issue.

Shapeless

A shapeless recipe is one that has no shape, it only ensures that the given items are somewhere in the grid. An example of this is the wool dying recipes. The wool and dye can be anywhere in the grid, and still work.

Smelting

A smelting recipe is one that defines how an item is smelted in a furnace. Recipes like this will most of the time work in modded furnaces as well.
