CoreBound Recycling

Minecraft Datapack

CoreBound Recycling adds a recycling system to Minecraft that allows selected iron, gold, and copper items to be smelted back into their ingot or nugget materials.

Recycling is intentionally limited to the Blast Furnace, giving otherwise unwanted metal equipment and crafted components a useful second life.

Recycling Values

The amount returned is based on the item's original metal cost.

Recycling returns the item's full original material cost regardless of its durability.

Recycling does not refund non-metal materials used in crafting.

Horse Armor, Chainmail and Nautilus Armor are not changed by this pack.

Cooking Time

Recycling times are based on the amount of material returned.

20 ticks = 1 second. 60 seconds = 1 minute

Time (minutes) = ticks / 20 / 60

Anvil / 31 Iron Ingots / 27,900 Blast Furnace ticks / 23 minutes 15 seconds

Experience

Recycling also provides experience based on the amount of material recovered.

The current rate is: 0.9 XP per recovered ingot, 0.1 XP per recovered nugget

Iron Chestplate 8 Iron Ingots, 8 × 0.9 XP, = 7.2 XP

Development Notes

Some ideas and programming assistance were generated with the help of AI tools (ChatGPT) for brainstorming and function logic. All code was tested, integrated, and reviewed manually.
