[Crafting] More Recycling
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This data pack overhauls the recycling system by greatly increasing the number of items that can be smelted for iron, gold, or copper. The amount that you get is also dependent on how much is used in the recipe. Items that have 4 or more iron will smelt back to a whole ingot! Now you can recycle anything containing a substantial amount of iron, gold, or copper, such as hoppers, cauldrons, iron bars, horse armor, bells, and much more!
