Shapeless crafting

File: data/<namespace>/recipe/<path>.json.

hbm:crafting_shapeless uses the same JSON on Fabric and NeoForge; NTM's bundled shapeless crafting recipes use it. It assigns each occupied slot to one ingredient, including when ingredient alternatives overlap. Input-state rules identify zero-based entries in ingredients, independent of grid position. Inputs accept pristine stacks by default.

Fields

Field	Meaning and default	Range
`type`	Selects the `hbm:crafting_shapeless` recipe format.
`ingredients`	1–9 ingredients; each entry consumes one item from its assigned slot.
`result`	Output stack template. A result carrier requires count 1.
`id`	Item ID.
`count`Optional	Stack size; default 1.	[1, 99]
`components`Optional	Item-component values.
`input_state`Optional	Input-state rules keyed by zero-based ingredient index; default empty.
`<selector>`	Pattern symbol or zero-based ingredient index mapped to an input rule.
`<selector>.components`Optional	Exact component values required on this input; default empty.
`<selector>.predicates`Optional	Registered component predicates required on this input; default empty.
`<selector>.preserve`Optional	State destination: result or remainder. Omit to consume only pristine or explicitly required state.
`category`Optional	Recipe-book category: `building`, `redstone`, `equipment`, or `misc`; default `misc`.
`group`Optional	Recipe-book group string; default empty.
`show_notification`Optional	Shows the recipe-unlock notification; default `true`.

Selectors are strings from "0" through the last ingredient index. At most one entry may use preserve: result. Loader conditions can wrap the recipe.

Example:

A shapeless variant of the four-plate crate upgrade. The stack assigned to ingredient 0 supplies the retained contents.
