Is it possible to disable crafting recipes in Minecraft for certain items and not disable others?
You can set the gamerule doLimitedCrafting:
/gamerule doLimitedCrafting true
That prevents everyone from crafting anything for which they haven't unlocked the recipe yet.
To allow them everything by default, do this:
/recipe give @a *
Then take away all the recipes you want to become impossible:
/recipe take @a <name>
with <name> being the recipe's name, which you can easily get with autocomplete.
