In my personal opinion, so do not take this as fact or things against anyone, the newly released Crafting Helper system will change the game in a negative way. For me, the experience in crafting has been positive and unique because of the requirement to know recipes (or look them up from external sources). That was one of the only decent things separating the crafting system of Minecraft separating it from literally any other game. In literally every other game, crafting is simply opening a simple menu and clicking a button while hoping you have the right resources. In Minecraft, you had (hopefully "have") to figure out how to make something, not just be the all-knowing god of crafting right off the bat. In my opinion, this appeal of needing knowledge to play made the game funner and unique, rather than a much more generic game. In a conclusion directed at Mojang, it is the duty of the game to stay unique and not allow it to become just another generic survival-exploration game. Please Mojang, keep our beautiful game beautifully unique.
The ability to play the game without looking at Wikipedia is a welcome change in my opinion. Maybe it can be tweaked but I think it's fine being in the game? After all it's a separate GUI and you can choose not to use it, but for new players it's a godsend.
Personally, I consider the old Minecraft crafting system to be one of its greatest flaws. How many other games out there require that you go out to the Internet to find basic information about how to play the game? I can understand what Notch originally intended, with intuitive recipes that closely resemble simple items like ladders, doors, arrows, etc, but as things became more complex, some recipes could never be learned in-game. If you never looked it up on the Internet, could you ever learn how to make an enchanting table, or a redstone repeater by playing the game long enough?
I find the crafting guide are very useful. And removing this for the sake of nostalgia are very egoistical.
Searching on the internet on how to craft these or that are not challenging. They're simply annoying.
Also with the countless ammount of items in minecraft. It would be annoying for casual gamer to figure out the recipe. And that, even if they know the recipe existed.

I think the new crafting system has a lot of potential, but could use improvement.
