About this Mod
Introduction (do /reload when you first add it)
Straight to the point- someone made a Fabric create recycling mod which adds crushing wheel recipes to turn crafted items back into their original form. it was terrible and had a ton of bugs so I made this version, this time for NEOFORGE!
I had ported their Fabric version just to update it to Create 6 but it was still terrible so that is now private.
Let me know on Github by reporting issues if you want a less buggy Fabric version!
Now onto the mod description:
Do you ever end up with chests completely full of random leftover items and blocks that you can't really do anything with. I wanted a way to actually break them down, so I made Create Recycling (code is completely diff from the original made by someone else for Fabric)!
Basically, this mod dynamically generates Crushing Wheel recipes for almost every crafted item in the game. You just throw your unwanted stuff into the wheels, and it automatically calculates the base materials and spits them back out for you.
How It Works:
Smart Yields: Full blocks (like iron blocks, slime blocks, or Create alloys) give you 100% of your stuff back. Regular items give you a guaranteed base amount, plus a percentage chance for the rest, so it stays balanced and isn't too overpowered.
Auto-Generation: You don't need to manually configure hundreds of JSON files. The mod scans your recipe registry right when the server starts and builds a virtual datapack in your config folder automatically.
Skips The Weird Stuff: It's smart enough to ignore things that shouldn't be crushed (like wood planks, glass panes, or waxed blocks) so your JEI doesn't get cluttered with broken or useless recipes.
Read this:
(Note: Because of how 1.21 loads, if the recycling recipes don't show up the very first time you boot up a new world, just type /reload in chat so the game can read the generated files, and you're good to go!)
Hope this helps you guys clean up your factories and save some resources. Let me know if you run into any bugs!
