the class ShapedOreRecipe has width and height as private, is there a way to read them

 

I need to be able to read the patterns for recipes for a project i am working on, I can get the items but not the width and height

 

 

I figured it out

 

public int getShapedOreRecipeWidth(ShapedOreRecipe r){
	int w=0;
	try {
		Class<?> c = r.getClass();
		Field wdth = c.getDeclaredField("width");
		wdth.setAccessible(true);
		w=wdth.getInt(r);
	} catch (Exception e) {
	}	
	return w;
}

 

or is there a better way
