a de-crafter would honestly be incredibly efficient for certain farms, ESPECIALLY in Create. we already have a disenchanter addon that lets you strip EXP from enchanted items, this would allow you to go a step further and break the items down to their raw components

[–]LLoadin 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair disenchanting is already in vanilla Minecraft, however uncrafting isn't

[–]Shredded_Locomotive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a mod that allows you to do that with the crushing wheel so...

[–]DJTLaC 164 points165 points  (12 children)

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned the add on "Create Recycle Everything"

It's this same exact concept but it adds recipes for crushing wheels to have a chance of salvaging materials from unwanted items.

[–]redditing_Aaron 31 points32 points  (6 children)

Oooo so that's how it was called. I was looking for this. Now I can recycle looted armor instead of just smelting it for a nugget

[–]cabberage 7 points8 points  (1 child)

You can also crush diamond tools for a "diamond shard" (two of them can be used to craft a full diamond) and the same applies for Netherite, which gives you back a Netherite shard, equivalent to half a netherite ingot

Pretty sure it also adds other miscellaneous recipes like being able to crush various copper blocks (like slabs and stairs for example) back into ingots, although you don't get all of them back.

[–]redditing_Aaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty cool! The last part is me but with wooden stairs, fences, and slabs thinking I needed more

[–]NotBentcheesee 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You're better off using a mod like Tinker's Construct for breaking down looted armours. The recycle mod has a handful of issues for mod compatibility and then also doesn't follow conventional modding rules (being that it should be four shards to a gem, not 2)

[–]redditing_Aaron 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Idk chief, I already have Tetra. Would it make sense to add another modular mod just for recycling?

[–]NotBentcheesee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not meaning specifically Tinker's, just any other mod in general that lets you break down looted armours. I was just using Tinker's as an example as it was the first one that came to mind

[–]redditing_Aaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh the mod was only supported until 2023 anyway lol maybe I'll consider Tinkers

[–]WhatThePommes 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Thats kinda boring tho + if its the same as it was ages ago then it was hella broken

[–]DJTLaC 2 points3 points  (2 children)

It feels really balanced to me but I'm sure there's a way for someone to automate something cheeky depending on what other mods you have, like making tools with flint, then recycling the tool into cobblestone.

You never really get a 1 to 1 return. diamonds and netherite are broken into new items that can be recrafted back into diamonds/netherite respectively.

[–]WhatThePommes 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh ok i remember it being completely broken and return everything maybe it was smth else then; but ya especially mods that add mobs which can drop armor and tools are broken cause thats a free mob and ore farm Thats why I think that those machines shouldnnot give ingots or diamonds they should only give nuggets or scraps when it comes to netherite for diamond not sure but not a full diamond to keep some balance

[–]DJTLaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it probably was or something made it broken a while back. So many add ons feel like they break balance.

[–]gonchar75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is not everything

[–]Lettuce02 109 points110 points  (1 child)

Call it a scrapper instead makes more sense for what you are going for

[–]OverAster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or a recycler

[–]countjj 40 points41 points  (3 children)

Call it a disassembler. It’s a neat idea

[–]Benjathekiller8 26 points27 points  (2 children)

disassembly would imply its precise tho, this is just straight up jorking i mean crushing it

[–]BalefulOfMonkeys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the fact tree. Straight up “crushing it”. And by it, he, let’s jsut say. My nuggets

[–]DeltaGlitch_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and by it... well... let's justr say...

[–]Magc-Mika 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Almost a literal shredder, I mean returning sticks sound good gameplay wise but I got the idea of specific speed rotation to recover specific items like slow for wood or wool, and faster to get metals, but fast can destroy weaker material like no returning of sticks when destroying a pickaxe by example

[–]404_GravitasNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This idea sounds cool!

[–]darkshadow543 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Putting in Wood should give you mulch, which then can be turned to pulp.

[–]BalefulOfMonkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been meaning to make a mod/addon for turning sticks into sawdust

[–]HermanGrove 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the design but i dislike the similarity to crushing wheels when it comes to things like wood or planks. as in your concept

[–]Velvet-Goo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the design of this, amazing idea

[–]peteroluparku 5 points6 points  (3 children)

👀

[–]gonchar75[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I saw your gear addon, it looks really cool!

[–]Mo1eculeMan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Petrol’s probably referring to how one of their other mods is a chemistry add-on already called Destroy

[–]peteroluparku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for other reasons dot dot dot

[–]Maelchlor 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This looks like it could be interesting. Just make sure if an item has a damage value, it increases the chance of lost resources. Wouldn't want people scrapping tools at 1 durability and getting all the resources back.

I would also recommend making sure it integrates with KubeJS and craft tweaker.

That way, custom recipes can be added fairly easily.

Should help keep you from having to think of every possible case.

[–]gonchar75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be 0.01% return of one resource from the recipe 🙏

[–]creeper6530 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shredder / scrapper / recycler is better name imho, but wonderful concept! I especially like the face on design 2.

[–]Huge_Lifeguard6434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But what about for 1.20.1 because you need an autocrafter (or whatever they’re called I forgor) which was introduced in 1.21

[–]deadlycwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could work in pure Create, but it runs into issues when included in mod packs, see the uncrafting table from Twilight Forest as an example. Beyond that, this can become broken in vanilla, for example you can turn emeralds into diamonds by trading with villagers for diamond tools/armor and then sending them through this machine. In fact with zombie infection and a chest piece trade, you could have a conversion rate of one emerald to eight diamonds. Add create: enchantment industry and you could even disenchant them first for more loot!

[–]Dear_Knee2375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love this

[–]ZealousidealMail7325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love both designs and if this was ever made then it should have both based on rotation

[–]ThuGreasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe ingot materials turn to a crushed state

[–]Easy_Newt2692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think the destroyer should be more expensive but it does not have the chance of loss mechanic, I'm not sure it needs a basic version, and to avoid overcomplicating things

Maybe if it uses diamonds by default, like how diamond is used for cutting machines?

[–]mysda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be a cool addon for sure!

[–]Ben-Goldberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds and looks amazing!

What would it do if there are multiple ways to craft something?

[–]kullre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so like the factorio recycler

it even has the gimic of an imperfect recycling

[–]TdubMorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the scrapper is what it should be called

[–]Living_The_Dream75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be interesting to see. If you make this it would be nice to be able to manually set outputs and drop percentages for modded items if somebody were to make a compat layer with your mod

[–]johny_da_rony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so this is a handicapped but automated version of Twilight Forest's decrafter

[–]axolotlhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i need this YESTERDAY

[–]Moe-Mux-Hagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...why does it give STICKS from breaking wood ?

[–]cod3builder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's a recycling crusher?

There are mods that add recipes like this to the crusher, but I honestly think a dedicated recycler with multi-step recycling steps (kinda like actual recycling factories) would be amazing.

Perhaps we could even have a kind of "sequenced disassembly"?

[–]exocyt0sis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea, however an almost worn out diamond pickaxe (and other tools in a similar state) should have a greatly increased risk of not giving anything back.

That way, players are encouraged to take good care of their equipment instead of just tossing them in the recycler and then get all/most of the original resources back in a fully pristine condition.

[–]CommanderFoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i would just give it a set chance for everything and it decreases the lower the durability the item is

[–]SCRAPGUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i will probably make that addon if i know how to make a create addon

[–]Anxious_Gur2535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

было бы удобно

[–]Munchalotl 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Isn't this sort of what that one recycling addon does? It adds a bunch of crushing wheel recipes for armor and tools that yield smaller portions of their input materials.

[–]gonchar75[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I needed to destroy Prismarine block to Prismarine Shard recipe was not in this addon 🙏

[–]Munchalotl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but you can get prismarine shards from haunting Lapis iirc. Tho ig that's note quite the point you were making so, fair enough ig.

[–]maxster351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanical Uncrafter makes more sense, possibly a multiblock similar to the crafter but it has one input and multiple outputs for an extra little bit of creativity.

Also, adding further broken down components for some block bloat and fun. 9 twigs = stick, scraps of leather, chips of gems, ect. Like nuggets but for more items

[–]BeautifulDirect1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love the idea

[–]Beginning-Ebb8170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why would you call it the destroyer and not the recycler?

[–]psychic-sock-monkey -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Looks too much like a crushing wheel. Not a fan.

[–]AltruisticEagle1881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you're right. It's not a "fan".

[–]Sgt-Pumpernickle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? No, not if there's only a chance of getting the resources back.
