Removing Recipes stalls the server?

I'm trying to remove a few recipes with my plugin, and when the plugin gets to the removal process, it freezes the server.

This is my method of removing recipes:

Code:

public void disableRecipes(org.bukkit.inventory.Recipe removedRecipe){
        Iterator<org.bukkit.inventory.Recipe> iterator = getServer().recipeIterator();
 
        while(iterator.hasNext()){
            org.bukkit.inventory.Recipe theRecipe = iterator.next();
            if(theRecipe.getResult() == removedRecipe.getResult()){
                System.out.println("Removing Recipe: " + theRecipe.getResult().getType());
                iterator.remove();
            }
        }
    }

Does anything look like it would freeze the server?

 

Does it completely freeze the server by completely not responding for a few seconds or "completely never going to respond you killed me good job"?

 

It freezes forever. I let it sit there for five minutes before deciding that it wasn't coming back.

I almost feel like there is an infinite loop somewhere..

 

Ok this kind of thing happened to me a bunch of times. Couldn't get around it so I submitted a ticket. Still not fixed... Its a problem with the way Bukkit handles recipes (or the way minecraft handles recipes)

 

Aww poop I was hoping to override a few vanilla recipes... I guess I could listen to the PreCraft event, but that seems a little messy..

 

Thats, sadly, the best way to do it.

 

Hmm, alright. To change a bad situation into a good one... I guess this'll allow me to easily alert users of the recipe change too. Hit two birds with one stone

Hmm... any way of comparing if a recipe is the same as a custom one without checking their result?

Its a bad idea thats one way that I crashed my server... repeatedly... again and again trying to fix it...
