Recycling
Recycled your armor and your tools.
About
Recycling is a datapack that lets you recycle old armor, tools and various equipment by smelting them in a Furnace or Blast Furnace to recover part of their original materials.
Instead of throwing away damaged or unused gear, you can transform it back into valuable resources such as Iron Ingots, Gold Ingots, Diamonds, Netherite Scraps and more, making every piece of equipment useful again.
Designed to stay faithful to vanilla Minecraft, Recycling integrates seamlessly with existing mechanics, encourages smarter resource management and rewards players for making the most of their materials without disrupting game balance.
