The redstone ore(s) to redstone dust smelting recipe is in a different tab than all other material and ore recipes
The smelting recipes for deepslate/stone redstone ore are in a different tab than all other ores.
Observed Results:
Furnace:
Redstone is in the 'Stone block' (blocks) group, whereas all other ores are in the 'Lava bucket & Emerald' (Ores) group.
Blast Furnace:
Redstone ore is in the `Redstone ore` (Redstone) group, whereas all other ores are in the `Iron Shovel & Golden Leggings` (Ores) group.
Expected Results:
Redstone ore smelting recipes would be included with all other ore smelting recipes.
Created Issue:
most blast furnace recipes are in incorrect tab
The Blast Furnace has two recipe tabs - one with a Redstone Ore icon and one with an Iron Shovel and Golden Leggings. While I can't technically confirm this, it seems like the top tab is supposed to be for ores and the bottom tab is supposed to be for tools and armor. However, the 'ore' tab only has the "Redstone Ore -> Redstone Dust" recipe. This sort of makes sense, since the tab icon is Redstone Ore, but then:
A. why are the icons in the second tab tools and armor when other ores are in it as well?
B. why does Redstone Ore get its own tab when every other ore doesn't?
It would make more sense if all ores were in the top tab and everything else was in the bottom tab.

The bug
The smelting recipe for redstone ore is in a different tab than all other ores. This is inconsistent and confusing:
- Furnace:
- Redstone ore: "Stone block tab"
- All other ores: "Lava / emerald tab"
- Blast Furnace:
- Redstone ore: "Redstone ore tab"
- All other ores: "Iron shovel / golden leggings tab"
Expected: Redstone ore should be in the same tab as the other ores.
For the blast furnace the tab with the redstone block icon should probably contain all other ore smelting recipes as well.

According to
MC-179009, regular furnaces are also affected.I have rewritten the report to also mention regular furnaces, I hope the changes are alright for you, though feel free to make changes if you think something is missing.
Can confirm in 23w46a. I would like to request ownership of this issue seeing as the original poster has not kept up with it.
Can confirm in 1.20.3-pre3. It seems like for both of these inconsistencies the issue is that redstone smelting and blasting recipes have their "category" field set to be "blocks" (where recipes such as smelting cobblestone into stone are) rather than "misc" (where all the other ores and blastable items are). Assuming the game directly references the .json files that one gets from extracting the jar version file, changing the "category" field to "misc" in all 4 redstone smelting/blasting recipes' .json files should fix this.
