Better Uncrafting「更好的拆解」
by edeipici
Better Uncrafting「更好的拆解」 lets players turn finished items back into their raw materials at a crafting table, using only an empty grid.
What it does
Opening a crafting table with the grid cleared and an item held on the cursor triggers the uncrafting step. The raw materials return to the grid, where they can be taken directly. Holding a stack of sticks, for example, returns the planks it was made from. Items without a recipe cannot be uncrafted, and some special items are excluded for the same reason.
Uncrafting only runs when the grid is empty, so ordinary crafting in the vanilla crafting table is not changed. Materials come back exactly as they were used in the original recipe, with nothing lost during the process, and the recipe book can be used to switch between recipes that produce the same item. The mod is a lightweight addition that handles its adjustments automatically.
Installation needs Fabric and runs on the server side only. Clients need additional setup to take part in the crafting table interaction, and the mod works in multiplayer. Files are published for Fabric and 1.21.1, with version 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest build, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Reverse crafting at the table
Items held on the cursor are reverse-crafted back into their materials through the vanilla crafting table.
Lossless material return
Each material comes back in the exact amount the original recipe consumed, so nothing is lost.
Recipe book switching
The recipe book can be opened to select another recipe that produces the same item, which changes the uncrafted result.
Vanilla crafting unchanged
The reverse action starts only when the crafting grid is empty, leaving ordinary recipes untouched.
