[SaS] Scraps and Salvage
by Will5Plays
[SaS] Scraps and Salvage lets players break down damaged copper, gold and iron armor and tools into scrap, then turn that scrap back into ingots.
What it does
Salvaging works on armor and tools made from copper, gold and iron. Each piece yields its matching scrap, and damage does not reduce the return: a worn item gives the same amount as a pristine one. Three scraps placed in a horizontal row on a crafting table form an ingot again, so old gear can feed into new crafting. Older equipment that would otherwise sit unused becomes a source of useful materials.
The mod is built around that loop. Players collect worn items from mob farms and other sources, salvage them, and rebuild ingots for new recipes. Because the return does not depend on durability, a damaged piece is worth the same as a repaired one. The author notes that more features are planned for future updates, but none are described on the Modrinth page.
The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published under All rights reserved and is not open source.
