[1.19.x] Overriding/Disabling Vanilla Smelting Recipes

[LightningFlash]

I am trying to override or disable some vanilla recipes, as part of my mod. All of the methods that I have seen online, so far, do not work.

So far, I have tried:

• Creating a JSON file in the "data/minecraft/recipes" folder, that has air as the ingredient and a barrier as the result
  • This only works for crafting table recipes
  • adding a smelting recipe this way works as intended
• Editing the ordering to AFTER in the forge dependency inside the "mods.toml" file
• Found an older post about using the FurnaceRecipe class, that no longer exists
  • From: here

So, what is required to disable a vanilla smelting recipe? I know some may say to not do this, but part of the progression of my mod kind of requires disabling some of the furnace recipes. Also, it seems that smelting recipes don't technically have to have the same filename as the block used, r as the result. When overriding crafting recipes, just adding the edited/removed recipe file in the minecraft data folder, under the same name as the original recipe. 

Edit: the crafting recipes seem to be cached between worlds? I created a new world and the edited crafting recipes works, but it doesn't work in an already made world?
