Cody's Uncrafting

Placing the Uncrafting Bench and right-clicking it opens a screen with one input slot. Dropping a craftable item into that slot makes the bench show its original recipe in a familiar 3×3 grid and break the item down into its parts. Shaped recipes keep each ingredient in the position it held in the grid, so a pickaxe displays its sticks and planks in the spots they would occupy in a standard workbench layout. Recipes without a fixed pattern are laid out from left to right.

Once the ingredients are taken out, the bench moves on to the next item in the input slot and keeps processing without manual action. Anything stored inside is dropped when the block is broken, so nothing is lost in survival. The bench is built from a workbench and a handful of redstone, and it takes on the appearance of its source block so it blends into existing builds. The mod changes no existing mechanics and adds only this one block.
