Salvage Workbench
by SeamlessMods
Salvage Workbench lets players recover materials, enchantments and used-up items from crafted gear at an in-world workbench, and it is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Crafted items can be fed into the workbench to return their materials and enchantments. The amount returned scales with the item's remaining durability, so a nearly worn tool yields less than a fresh one. Items that cannot take damage use the normal output instead. Hoppers can feed the workbench and collect its results, which lets a salvage line run without a player standing at it.
Installation needs Fabric API and SeamlessLib on Fabric, and SeamlessLib on Forge and NeoForge. Mod Menu is optional and adds settings screens on Fabric. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and SeamlessLib 2.x must be installed on both sides. Files target one exact Minecraft version and loader, so the jar must match both. The mod is published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3, with 2.1.1 as the latest file for 26.3, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Material recovery
The workbench returns the materials a crafted item was made from, giving it a second life.
Enchantment recovery
Enchantments on salvaged items can be recovered as well, not only the base materials.
Durability-scaled returns
Material yield drops as the item's remaining durability drops, so worn gear returns less.
Hopper automation
Hoppers can move items into and out of the workbench, so salvage can be automated.
