I am uncertain what is happening here as I have had recipes in the past, but they currently are causing the game to crash during initialization. I am not sure what is happening here, as I have declared recipes like this before and it has worked. I think I am in an overthinking it loop as I started working on this fairly late last night and have been working on it on and off every few hours since.

The class containing recipes: https://github.com/squirrelkiller/SK-Utils/blob/master/src/main/java/com/squirrelkiller/utilities/init/ModRecipes.java

The elytra recipe needs to be a ShapedOreRecipe, because it uses oredict entries.
