The Uncrafting Table

The Uncrafting Table

Turn crafted items back into their original ingredients with a dedicated Uncrafting Table block.

Be aware: This mod was created 100% by Grok Composer 2.5 fast (AI-assisted development).

Overview

The Uncrafting Table reverses crafting table recipes. Insert a crafted item, preview the matched recipe in a live 3×3 grid, and click any preview slot to recover all ingredients at once.

Custom block textures and GUI use a reversed crafting-table look: raised grid ridges, hollow center, outward arrows, and subtle cyan/purple accents.

How it works

1. Craft or find an Uncrafting Table (default recipe: oak planks, obsidian, and diamond — configurable).
2. Place the block and open the GUI.
3. Insert one item into the input slot on the left.
4. View the matched recipe ingredients in the 3×3 preview on the right.
5. Click any preview slot to uncraft — the input is consumed and ingredients go to your inventory.
6. Close the GUI — any item still in the input slot is returned to you.

Uncraft is cancelled if your inventory cannot hold every ingredient. The input is never partially consumed.
