There are several items in the game that have variants of the same item such as spawn eggs and coal and charcoal. My problem is adding items like these into crafting recipes. How do I do this?

As far as I know, you can't make recipes nbt sensitive (not for the vanilla crafting table), so any recipe using spawn eggs would not be sensitive to the type, and you can't make recipes that have spawn eggs as the output. But for things like coal and charcoal (which use damage values),

add "data" and then the damage value. Example:

{
  "type": "crafting_shaped",
  "group": "wooden_door",
  "pattern": [
    "##",
    "##",
    "##"
  ],
  "key": {
    "#": {
      "item": "minecraft:planks",
      "data": 4
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:acacia_door",
    "count": 3
  }
}

Ok so is there any way to make spawn eggs craftable? What if I made my own custom crafting table?
