possible implementation of #269's goal

[SmallJoker]

^ FYI: A comparison image like this would be nice to have for PRs that touch the interface (or graphics in general).

A few remarks:

1. The recipe bucket:bucket_empty ("Freezing" recipe provided by technic) causes a warning - nil is not a valid texture name. Same for "Alloying", basic_materials:brass_ingot.
2. The left-side alignment is inconsistent with other elements.
3. How about showing these filters under the < > buttons?
4. Shaped and shapeless (Crafting + Mixing) have identical icons, hence cannot be distinguished without checking the tooltip.
5. EDIT: I'd expect the filter buttons to behave like the categories. After clicking a button, only the recipes that belong to that craft type is shown. I.e. invert the functionality from blacklist to whitelist.

1. The recipe `bucket:bucket_empty` ("Freezing" recipe provided by `technic`) causes a warning - `nil` is not a valid texture name. Same for "Alloying", `basic_materials:brass_ingot`.

I'm not getting either warning (I'm using technic plus)

2. The left-side alignment is inconsistent with other elements.

they're not exactly the same type

3. How about showing these filters under the `<` `>` buttons?

in what direction? (LTR or RTL?)

4. Shaped and shapeless (Crafting + Mixing) have identical icons, hence cannot be distinguished without checking the tooltip.

what ideas do you have for changing the mixing icon

5. EDIT: I'd expect the filter buttons to behave like the categories. After clicking a button, only the recipes that belong to that craft type is shown. I.e. invert the functionality from blacklist to whitelist.

it's as simple as unchecking all and selecting the intended tab?
also is that change necessary for the PR
