The main idea is that when somebody else in multiplayer is crafting, you can see floating sprites, blocks and models above the crafting table in the pattern that they're attempting to craft.
This could be used to help teach crafting recipes or correct mistakes, for example, your friend is crafting something incorrectly. But you can see what he's doing thanks to this suggestion, you don't have to go just by word of mouth of text. And then you tell him that he can't make tools out of coal

The same is true for furnaces, anvils, enchanting tables, alchemy stands.
But not for chests, large chests, dispensers, hoppers, and minecarts.
Or maybe, acessing the same Crafting Table would use only one recipe (If this happens already in Multiplayer, correct me please, i don't play in SMP)

This is a great idea, my only thought is what if a player is crafting something on a server using a crafting table and another player comes by and sees that he is crafting a diamond block. In a server with no protection that player could break the crafting table and run off with all the goodies. Apart from that though this is a cool idea

Hide the crafting table in a wooden ceiling? (The bottom texture is identical)

Then there could be a plugin so items can't be taked, you can still see it, but can't interfere

That plugin would be called block protection.
The items blocks and models are purely visual, you can't pick them up. And if the server has block protection you can't destroy the crafting bench to spill the contents.
I had the same idea some time ago and I have mixed feelings about this idea, sure people are saying there are plugins for block protection and stuff like that which is alright but what about LAN games/servers without plugins? How would those work if two or more people want to craft at the same time with only one crafting table?

This is a good question. Why not make so the sprites are over the player's head instead of the crafting table? It could then be applied to the 2x2 grid as well.
As for plugins and whatnot, this could be something that you can toggle in the server properties, since PvP servers and other server types you wouldn't want people to know what you are crafting. Or it could be a button in the crafting GUI that lets other people see.

I think if it is implemented though that only one player should be allowed to craft at a time and other players are "blocked" by an existing user. There'd have to be some thought as to how the display would look though. if it is a plane it will only be visible properly at certain angles I suppose. Maybe a vertical display like you would see when you actually have the table open??
