Found a bug with v2.3 (From the 1st post) that only affects vanilla crafting recipes with planks, and I think has to do with the crafting dictionary.
The first time sticks, or chests are created with any type of planks (it can be vanilla, MFR, BoP, etc.), the recipe works. The next time the same recipe is attempted with any vanilla plank, the recipe fails. Modded planks are not affected.
To clarify -
1 - Craft sticks using any type of planks (remember the planks used - i.e., jungle planks).
2 - Try crafting sticks with a different type of planks (i.e., birch). Sticks (and other vanilla items like chests) are uncraftable, but they still work with the original planks (i.e., the jungle planks).
For now, I'm using the "icon fix" version (2.1) above, which is working.
