Uncrafting Recipes

by GamerMC

Uncrafting Recipes lets a server reverse common crafts, so a block such as wool or bread can be taken apart back into its ingredients.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.3 – 1.21.5

What it does

The mod is installed on the server, and a data pack inside it defines the reverse recipes. Blocks such as wool, honeycomb block and bread can be uncrafted, and so can items such as bricks. An uncraft returns the component items, for example four amethyst shards from an amethyst block, nine ice from packed ice, or three wheat from bread. The extra recipes are published as a data pack, which allows them to be added without changing the rest of the game.

Each reverse recipe becomes available once a player obtains the original block, following the same pattern as vanilla recipes. Coverage includes the brick families, such as resin bricks, nether bricks and prismarine bricks, where a single brick yields the component shards or blocks. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest files cover 1.20.3 – 1.21.5 across ten release versions.

Key features

  1. Reverse block recipes

    Wool, honeycomb block, bread and similar blocks can be uncrafted into their component items.

  2. Brick and ice coverage

    Resin, nether and prismarine bricks, along with packed and blue ice, have reverse recipes that return their parts.

  3. Availability on discovery

    Each uncraft recipe becomes available when a player obtains the original block, the same way as vanilla recipes.

  4. Data pack delivery

    The recipes are provided through a data pack, so they load without an extra code change to the game.

Use cases

Recovering materials

Players who built with a block they no longer need can break it back down into usable ingredients.

Server economies

Server owners who want a simple material loop can offer uncrafting alongside normal crafting.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want players to reverse certain crafts, and players on those servers who want to recover ingredients from finished blocks.

How it compares

Full comparison

Dewarter is an MIT-licensed server mod for 1.18 – 1.21.1 with the same server-required setup, and it is not open source. Uncraft Everything is a different approach that runs on client and server together and is not open source, with files for 1.16.5 – 26.3. Uncraftable Ice is open source under the MIT License and targets 1.21.2 – 26.3, so it covers ice blocks only.
