I wanted a datapack that would craft suspicious stew for me if I had all the ingredients. I wanted that datapack to increment my crafting stats when it did. I was told that was impossible.
So, I put too much effort into making made a mod that adds this functionality.
Command Statistics lets you use commands to manipulate a player's statistics. Currently, you can query, add, set, and reduce stats, as well as record a stat's to a scoreboard objective.
And so, my suspicious stew autocrafting datapack now adds 1 to my statistics everytime it makes stew for me.
