Some of things that goes on in the modding world is truely amazing.
I can't find the tweets about it from @pahimar. But:
For every item/block with a recipe and vanilla items/blocks hardcoded. 
It'll calculate at the start of runtime an EMC value in EE3. It does it 
ridiculously fast.

He did an amazing job of optimizing it. I generally believe that we 
probably couldn't even match it in D.

Unfortunately Vanilla Minecraft is quite a dog still, but getting better 
slowly. Even with the mass breakages of mods in the mean time.
