Carpets: Back To Wool
by FmBitMC
Carpets: Back To Wool gives players a crafting route from dyed carpets back to solid wool blocks, for each of the sixteen dye colors.
What it does
The mod adds sixteen recipes that turn three carpets of one color into two wool blocks of that color. A player who has accumulated carpets from trading or farming can recover solid wool without gathering new fleece. The recipes cover black, blue, brown, cyan, gray, green, light blue, light gray, lime, magenta, orange, pink, purple, red, white and yellow.
Because the change is limited to crafting, it leaves the rest of the game alone. The author describes it as a helper mod that barely affects gameplay. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single file for 1.21.1, released 2026-04-25, and it is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Carpet to wool crafting
Three carpets of one color craft into two solid wool blocks of the same color, reversing the usual wool-to-carpet step.
Sixteen color recipes
Each of the sixteen dye colors has its own recipe, so every carpet color has a matching conversion.
Minimal gameplay change
The additions are limited to crafting recipes, and no new items, mobs or world generation are introduced.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Recovering wool stock
A player who has more carpets than needed for building can convert them back into wool for other projects.
Trading economies
On a server with a shared economy, wool and carpets can be traded in the form a player currently holds.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a small crafting addition for an economy or survival server, and players who collect carpets in bulk and want to turn them back into wool.
