[1.18.1] Need help figuring out how to implement "crafting damage" onto an item

[EnderSpy007]

I want one of my items to take damage when crafted with (like the Forge Hammer or Cutters from IC2, for example). I was under the impression that this would be relatively simple considering how often it seems to appear in mods but apparently I am mistaken. I thought it would just involve making a custom class of items that would stay in the grid and take a set amount of damage when crafted with, but I've been told by a member of a modding community I am in that I need to deal with something called a recipe serializer. I wouldn't normally post here, but I haven't been able to find any modern documentation about it.

You can simply override hasContainerItem and return a damaged item in getContainerItem, the names probably had changed.

If you can't figure out yourself look for the previous posts in the forum, there is a lot of them.

Would you be able to point me in the direction of a 1.18 post about this? I haven't been able to find anything modern regarding this topic and I'm going a bit crazy haha
