GD Uncrafter
by GabrielDja
GD Uncrafter lets a player destroy an item and recover the ingredients it was crafted from, activated by a chat command.
What it does
Players drop or pick up an item they want to break down, then run the command in chat to trigger GD Uncrafter. The item is destroyed and the ingredients used to craft it are returned to the player, so a sword can be turned back into sticks and materials. The result depends on the recipe that produced the item.
The mod runs on the server, so server owners install it there. Players who join do not need it, though a client install is optional. Files cover 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack option. Its license is custom and the code is not open source. A translation pack is a sensible addition for players who read another language.

Use cases
Recovering materials
A player who no longer needs a crafted item can turn it back into its ingredients instead of discarding it.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want to recover crafting materials from items they no longer need. The server side is required, so the install belongs on the server.
How it compares
Anvil Destroys Items is server-side and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, for 1.21.5 – 26.3 on the same four loaders, so it covers a wider version range but removes items without returning ingredients. Mine and Destroy Recipes is NeoForge only, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, for 1.21.1 – 26.2.
