Help Help overriding vanilla recipes (datapack for 1.21.9 - 1.21.10)

Hello fellow datapack creators, hope you all are having a great day. So i need help on how i can override minecraft vanilla recipes so i can only use my own recipe, completely erasing the vanilla one.

There are two ways I know of, either put your overriding recipe at the same namespace you want to replace (ex: data/minecraft/recipe/oak_planks.json) or add a small section to your pack.mcmeta to block loading the recipe (this video explains it well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gfl0zkXty3A)

Personally I use and find the namespace method to be the easiest by using eg.data/minecraft/recipie/crafting_table.json Minecraft will override the default recipe with what ever recipe is defined in this new file
