[1.8] New Workbench question (and ideas needed!)

[pandaninjarawr]

I'm attempting to make a furniture mod for Minecraft (so that I get used to modding Minecraft), and I  was thinking of having a workbench-like block that you just put the materials onto one side (in any order, in any form), and as long as the requirements are met, you can scroll down the list of items you can make from it.

 

So for example, I have 2 planks and 1 stick and that makes a table.

I just plop the 2 planks on the left side of the workbench, and on the right side I can scroll through (kind of like how the xbox crafting interface looks) until I find the type of table I want.

 

Is this possible to do? Or at least, is the difficulty not beyond intermediate?

 

Thanks!

As to "is it possible":

Difficult - for real Java coder it's just matter of time, for just begginer modder it will take hella lot of logic and drawing stuff (gui takes time).

 

Mod in link has github, you might wanna check it out.
