Make a Minecraft Crafting Table

Question

Don't you hate it when you can't remember how to craft something in Minecraft? Well, time to remedy that!

Task

Your task is to take an input, either as a 1D or 2D list and output what item is a result of the crafting table!

Input

You may take input as either a string or a list of length 9 or a 2D nested array.

If you take input as a...

String

Each item in the table is 1 char in the printable ASCII character (0x20 to 0x7E). To represent an empty space, you use a - e.g. WWW-W-WWW would be the same as a crafting table like

+------+------+------+
| Wood | Wood | Wood |
+------+------+------+
|      | Wood |      |
+------+------+------+
| Wood | Wood | Wood |
+------+------+------+

You may also take input as a multiline string as long as all spaces are preserved e.g.

WWW
 W 
WWW

1D array

You would take the input as a char array where empty spaces on the crafting table would be an empty char e.g. the above table would be ['W','W','W','','W','','W','W','W']

2D array

This time, each list represents a line on the crafting table, where an empty space is an empty char e.g. [['W','W','W'],['','W',''],['W','W','W']]

You can assume that the input will always correspond to an item that can be crafted, and if using array input, you may replace the empty char with any character not used as an abbreviated name.

Output

Output will be the item crafted from the input, in any form you want, as long as it is obvious what it means. (Personally, I would use my 1 letter abbreviations of the items)

Ingredients

For this challenge, wood means wooden planks, not wooden logs.

You only have to handle the most common items when crafting. These are the ingredients for crafting but may also be products of crafting. The crafting recipe follows the format xxxxxxxxx like the string input above. If an item cannot be crafted, --------- is placed instead.

Some recipes are shapeless, meaning that just so long as all items are there, the item will be made. These are denoted be a *. An example of this would be pumpkin pie (not one in this challenge) that only needs pumpkin, sugar and egg to be made.

Products

This is a list of all the products that you could handle for crafting. if the item is also an ingredient, it will not be included here but you must still be able to handle it. Each one can be crafted using only the ingredients above and is designated a unique, lowercase letter to identify it. Armour (+) can use any ingredient in [G, I, L, D]. Weapons ($) can be made from [W, C, I, G, D]. As this is a code-golf site, however, we need to make these lists shorter. [G, I, L, D] is denoted by a Q and [W, C, I, G, D] is denoted by a J.

Scoring

As it would be unreasonable to ask you to do all of these recipes, you only have to do the ones that you want! But of course, the more that you do, the better your score.

Score is defined as

score = length of program in bytes / number of working recipes squared

For example, this could be a submission.

input()
print('S')

As you can assume that the input passed will be one that it can handle (----W--W-), it will always output S, which is equivalent to sticks. This would score 18 / 1 = 18.

You must take input to be a valid program and you must be able to handle at least 5 different inputs.

The person with the lowest score wins.

Rules

• Lowest score wins
• You may take input using any accepted method (function parameters, STDIN etc)
• You can only take input in one of the above forms. It isn't too restrictive and should be workable
• Standard loopholes are disallowed
• You must take input
• You must output at least 5 correct results to qualify as competing.
• For recipes that are shapeless, e.g. gold nuggets, different combinations do not count as different recipes. ----W---- is the same (recipe-wise) as --W------ and is only 1 recipe.
• On the flip side of this, for recipes that use more than one material, such as material blocks, each different material counts as a different recipe, meaning that IIIIIIIII is not the same (recipe-wise) as RRRRRRRRR.

Good luck, Minecrafters!

Handles all the specified recipes, including material variations.

Creates a dictionary of all working recipes (with length 9).

The shapeless recipes are included by sorting the input string, and checking those against the dictionary.

StringPosition looks for matching in a order of: input itself, sorted input (for shapeless recipe), armour, weapon, pressure plate.

# & @@ Join @@ returns the position of first occurence.

/9+8/9 calculates the index in result table and StringTake takes the character at that position.

OṢḄỌ

Takes input as string with hyphens for empty space, e.g. -----WWWW.

I think this is valid because the challenge says

Output will be the item crafted from the input, in any form you want, as long as it is obvious what it means. (Personally, I would use my 1 letter abbreviations of the items)

The 1 letter abbreviations are about as confusing as what this outputs, so this output is obvious enough what it means.

This assumes the input can be one the program can handle as specified by

you can assume that the input passed will be one that it can handle

Try it online!

Test Suite (Header and footer prettify the output) This does all 48 recipes and gives their names.

How it Works

This is really just a really poor hash function.

OṢḄỌ - main link, input e.g. ZZZ-I-III
O      - character codes e.g. [90, 90, 90, 45, 73, 45, 73, 73, 73]
 Ṣ     - sort. This helps shapeless recipes and keeps recipes such as TNT in CJK 
           e.g. [45, 45, 73, 73, 73, 73, 90, 90, 90]
  Ḅ    - convert from binary to integer e.g. 26670
   Ọ   - chr: convert from integer to character e.g.栮
