The Reclaimer
by JupiterRT
The Reclaimer returns crafting ingredients when a player uses a crafting table to make a tool, so a Diamond Pickaxe crafted there gives three diamonds back.
What it does
Crafting a tool with a crafting table can return part of the materials used in the recipe, letting players make extra tools from the same stock. Example from the author notes: a Diamond Pickaxe placed in a crafting table returns three diamonds, and diamond hoes return their items the same way. The Reclaimer is a server-side only mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.8 only, with a single file, 1.0.0, dated 2026-07-04. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Material recovery on crafting
Ingredients used in a tool recipe are partly given back to the player after the craft completes.
Works at a crafting table
The effect applies to recipes made in a standard crafting table, so no extra block or item is needed.
Diamond tools
Diamond pickaxes and hoes return diamonds, which makes repeated diamond tool crafting cheaper.
