Uncrafting MC
by v_modding
Uncrafting MC lets players turn finished items back into their crafting ingredients, with recipes that reach End-related and ocean-progression items.
What it does
The mod adds crafting recipes that yield items normally hard to get through crafting, so a rare survival item can be reached by taking a known result apart instead of waiting on villager trades, random mob drops or rare structures. The stated aim is to reduce reliance on those sources while keeping such items out of reach of trivial effort.
Recipes draw on End-related materials available in the overworld, and the mod requires real End progression for the Shulker Shells, Ender Eye and Phantom Membrane it uses. Enchanted Golden Apple and Notch Apple recipes are included, with an expensive recipe inspired by older Minecraft versions. Ocean progression is combined with Trial Chambers content, and horse armors follow consistent recipes that use minerals and a saddle.
Uncrafting MC is a client-side only mod, so servers can run without it. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, in two game versions: 1.21.5 and 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Minecraft 1.21.5 or later.
Key features
Uncraft recipes
Adds crafting recipes that take a finished item and return a set of ingredients, expanding vanilla crafting.
End-related materials
Recipes use overworld materials tied to the End, so progression toward those items stays tied to real game steps.
Preserved rare items
Rare survival items keep their value, since obtaining them through the mod's recipes is costly rather than free.
New items and blocks
The mod adds new items and blocks alongside the recipe changes, including the horse armor recipes.
