SmeltCycle

SmeltCycle is a Minecraft Forge mod that allows you to smelt all tools, armor and weapons made of iron, gold or diamond back into parts.

Because being able to recycle things makes it a LOT easier to access precious minerals (especially when you consider that villagers sell some of these things), you may only smelt undamaged items, you don’t get any experience from smelting them and you get less “return for smelt” the higher the item you are smelting.

Hopefully its self evident, but you require the ForgeModLoader to run this.

A table of return values is below.  As of SmeltCycle 2.0 you can customize (or entirely replace) this with your own smelting recipes by the use of /smeltcycle add and /smeltcycle remove

Enjoy!
