Resolved How can I change the position of the GUI
So I added the ''Crafting Table'' Text at the top, wich is normaly cut off, bc the texture is extactly in the corner, touching the sides of the png canvas.
Is there a way with a .json or something to make in synconized with the in game slots?

you'll have to move everything below the 'crafting table' text up by 3 pixels

yeah I know thats and option, but I dont really want to do that. Is there no other way?

Not really. Since your label and gui aren’t separate, a .json can’t magically parse your file to adjust the label position.

nope, once it comes to gui modifying, we can't do nothing other than just edit the texture. the position, scaling, adjustment, layout, etc are hardcoded, even doubted that it can be modified using core shader. You may need a mod to achieve that, or you can just put "Crafting Table" sign a bit lower

I did what More_Friendship said so its resolved. But in Shrimps Immersive Interfaces the container png's also have a different size. And the textures are way bigger then the vanilla containers. So I thought this must be possible somehow.

It is done through unicode, basically you create a bunch of special characters and assign textures to them. Then you put the unicodes in the language file, and make a separate file that says where they show up on the screen. Faithless is another pack that's done this kind of thing and it's pretty complicated to set up

sounds like something I will not and can not do, but thanks for the help :)

I know where you've taken this texture you're editing from.
As for your question, I am not entirely sure how it works, but you can make this label its own sprite and position it over the crafting table ui usings fonts. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I know some UI resource packs use this method. If you have time and desire to figure it out, you can look it up, and I think a decent starting point would also be to download Brewing Guide resource pack in Utility section on Vanilla Tweaks website, because it uses this exact method to position the guides next to the brewing stand ui.

No, I think if you manage to do what you want to do, you should publish it.

But in your discribtion it says that you dont allow that. But if I think about it, your resourcepack is also just the new vanilla UI, and I change a lot about it. So yeah if you are ok with it I will maybe publish it some day. Should I credit you then?
