Crafting vanilla crashes my game!

There's nothing particularly said in the crash report besides "An unexpected error has occurred. We're sorry for the inconvenience." Crafting certain things in the game works, but anything past a Crafting Table or Wood Planks always crashes. However if I craft with the journal rather than Vanilla, it works fine. Though this is a small bug I could over look, I like to prefer the journal reference and/or shortcuts/cheating. Along with that, its not very convenient as it bugs out if I try to craft certain things that have multiple crafting recipes like Wood plank varieties and bed varieties, wool, concrete powder, etc.

I think I'll stick with 1.11.2 until I get a solution or until this bug is fixed.
