Ok so after some more work we were able to make it happen, and just because I spent enough time searching for someone who was in the same stick I was in, I'm putting the solution here. We have crafttweaker 3 in our pack and that helped solve the problem. recipes.remove(<ic2:mining_laser:26>); and recipes.remove(<ic2:mining_laser:0>); How did we find the item id numbers? /crafttweaker nbt command with the object you want to id in your hand. The command will give you the actual item id number.
