[Crafting] More Recycling
More Recycling, a data pack by CodingLegend0100, makes many more items smeltable so that iron, gold and copper can be recovered from them.
What it does
The pack extends recycling so that far more items smelt back into iron and gold. The amount returned depends on how much of the metal a recipe uses.
The pack covers items that smelt to an iron nugget, ingot or block, a gold nugget, ingot or block, and a copper nugget or ingot. Copper items are smelted regardless of whether they are oxidized or waxed. The server must run it, and players can join without installing anything.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the pack is also available as a data pack. Builds cover 1.14 – 1.21.11 across 43 release versions, and snapshot builds are published.

Key features
Smelting for iron items
Iron nuggets, ingots and blocks, along with iron-based items such as chainmail armor, iron bars and iron chains, can be smelted back.
Smelting for gold items
Gold nuggets, ingots and blocks gain smelting recipes, so gold-containing items return some of their metal.
Copper recycling
Copper nuggets and ingots can be smelted, and this works on oxidized and waxed copper as well.
Proportional yields
The metal returned scales with the amount a recipe uses, so larger items give back more.

What the author says
This data pack overhauls the recycling system by greatly increasing the number of items that can be smelted for iron, gold, or copper. The amount that you get is also dependent on how much is used in the recipe. Items that have 4 or more iron will smelt back to a whole ingot! Now you can recycle anything containing a…
