How to Recycle Items
To recycle them you use an Powder Recycler

To recycle items open the GUI and put the items you want to recycle, and click the recycle button:

In the image above the Chest is the input item, and the other 8 planks are inside the output slots;
In the GUI we have 9 output slots, 1 input slot and 1 modifer slot;
Modifiers
Modifiers modify the output of the recipe, they are inserted in the modifier slot
Currently we have only one modifer, which is the Diamond Modifier(Also Known As Diamontifier)
Modifiers are registered using Java code
Diamontifier
This modifier changes some of the output items to Diamonds.
The Diamontifier has 32 of Durability, and everytime the recipe is modified one durability is consumed;
new PowderRecyclerModifer() {
@Override
public ItemStack[] modifyOutput(ItemStack modifierStack, ItemStack[] outputs) {
double d = RND.nextDouble();
if (d > 0.4) {
return outputs;
}
boolean mod = false;
for (int i = 0; i < outputs.length; i++) {
ItemStack output = outputs[i].copy();
if (output.getItem() == Registries.ITEM.get(Identifier.ofVanilla("diamond"))
|| output.getItem() == Registries.ITEM.get(Identifier.ofVanilla("air")))
continue;
d = RND.nextDouble();
if (d < (0.5d / Math.pow(1.5, output.getCount()))) {
outputs[i] = new ItemStack(Registries.ITEM.getEntry(Identifier.ofVanilla("diamond")).get(),
output.getCount(), output.getComponentChanges());
if (mod == false) {
mod = true;
}
LOGGER.info("Modified stack(" + output.getItem().toString() + ")");
}
}
if (mod == true) {
LOGGER.info("Modifer got damaged");
modifierStack.setDamage(modifierStack.getDamage() + 1);
}
return outputs;
}
}
As seen in the code above, we see that the chance of Replacing one item slot with an Diamond is:
0.5 / (1.5 ^ count)
count is the item count
And that the chance of attemping to modify the slot is: 0.4
To craft a Diamontifier you need to use the following Recipe:
