With Bob's Miner, I am able to use smelting recipes through hand crafting.
I choose an Iron Plate in my quick bar and HandyHands crafts Iron Plates, when I have Vanilla Iron Ore in my inventory.
So far so good.
Now to the issue:
The "Hard crafting" mod introduces rich variants of copper and iron ore, and also various recipes to get Iron Plates.
For Iron Plates, in addition to Vanilla Iron Ore, you can now smelt Iron Nuggets or Rich Iron Ore to get Iron Plates as well. You can manually smelt them in hand with the miner's class, but HandyHands refuses to use those items to auto-craft Iron Plates.
It seems like every smelt recipes, which is introduced by the "Hard crafting" mod, cannot be used by HandyHands.
But it also seems like every hand crafting recipe from the same mod can be used by HandyHands.
For example: I can auto-craft Pile of Gravel (recipe added by "Hard crafting"), but I cannot auto-craft stone bricks, which uses 1 Pile of Gravel as smelting recipe (recipe also added by "Hard crafting").
What do you think about it ?
