[1.21.3] Lower the durability of a tool in a crafting table recipe

[yoggiou]

Hi, i'm trying to add a recipe that lowers the durability of a tool in the crafting table but i can't figure out how to do it.

Here is an example of the basic json file where a melon is cut into 4 slices with an axe

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shapeless",
  "category": "misc",
  "ingredients": [
    [
      "minecraft:melon"
    ],
    "#minecraft:axes"
  ],
  "result": {
    "id": "minecraft:melon_slice",
    "count": 4
  }
}

The axe disappears with this method, how do i get to lower the durability of the axe?

You need to create a custom recipe type that overrides IRecipe#getRemainingItems to return a copy of the axe with its durability reduced.

I've got a very similar recipe implementation here, there's code in other parts of the repository to handle things like registration and data generation.
