This is just a simple little suggestion to change crafting. How about instead of building a crafting bench you build eight of them (or similar type of easy craftable block) and place them with 3 blocks distance from each other forming the eight corners of a sphere.
Inside this block you place your ingredient blocks to craft. The new recipes will be in the form of a 3x3x3 three dimensional block instead of the normal 3x3 grid that we have now.
Wouldn't it make more sense to build a large pickaxe (two wood logs in the middle of layer 1 and layer 2 with three blocks of planks, cobblestone, iron, gold or diamond across in layer 3) in 3D?
I use logs here since sticks can't be placed as a block.
If the crafting sphere recognize the recipe the the blocks are deleted and the item pops up inside the sphere.
Such 3D crafting would also allow for more complex crafting recipes since you now have a dept dimension. A wooden bowl could be formed as an actual bowl, and a bucket would be 3 rings of iron with iron at the bottom.
I know there will be a few problems with this. The main problem is that some items can't currently be placed as a block in the world. One of these items are sticks as I have mentioned, but also metal ingots, diamonds, leather and the like would need to be changed a bit.
The other problem is that some items will become a bit more expensive to craft since this method of crafting will allow for recipes with up to 27 blocks if the entire sphere is filled with blocks. This is quite a bit more than the maks 9 items that we have in our current two dimensional crafting bench.
I like the idea of crafting by building in 3D, I feel that it's a shame that I have a seemingly endless 3D world to explore and build in, but when I want to craft something useful I need to do this in 2D.
Well, we would of course need to make those unplaceable items placeable first.
I didn't intend for the player to use 9 items just to get one block.
The other alternative is of course to simply increase the number of resources you find. Either by making three times as large clusters of ore, or by having each ore block drop multiple items.
I just feel that the 2D crafting in a 3D world is a bit strange.

So I would need 27 iron for one pick?

72 diamonds for a diamond chestplate.
Dear god.
It would take... let's see here... oh my.
It would take 216 diamonds for a full set of armor.

DEAL WITH IT.
Oh come on, if you are going to play minecraft you need to learn to stack a few blocks on top of each other. It's not that hard.
How would you craft the diamond blocks in the first place?
Recursion.
