Recycle Materials

Get your building materials back to blocks

Description

Recycle Materials

A lightweight recipe-only mod focused on space efficiency and reversibility.

This mod does not add any new blocks.
Instead, it adds crafting recipes that allow you to:

  • Recover materials after building or crafting mistakes
  • Save storage space by compacting certain items
  • Access missing vanilla crafting recipes
  • Enable optional soil and decorative conversions

Whether you misclicked, redesigned a build, or simply want better storage optimization, this mod ensures your materials are never wasted.

All major categories are toggleable in-game for full control.

(More than 500 added recipes !)

Possible Future Additions

If requested by the community, additional reversible recipes could be added for furniture elements such as:

  • Doors
  • Tables
  • Chairs
  • Stools
  • Wardrobes
  • Shelves
  • Other decorative interior blocks

The goal would remain the same: improve material recovery and storage efficiency without introducing new blocks.

Suggestions are welcome.

Compatibility

  • Adds recipes only
  • Does not introduce new blocks
  • Safe for existing worlds
  • May infer with other recipe adding mods (would cause recipes duplication only)
