Recycle Anything | Recover Crafting Materials

About

Turn unwanted building pieces and equipment back into useful crafting materials.

Recycle Anything adds a Recycler workstation with its own crafting recipes for Minecraft Bedrock. Open the Recycler, choose a recipe and collect the recovered materials. No experimental toggles are required.

Features

• 269 supported vanilla item types — wood and stone stairs, slabs, fences, walls, doors, tools, leather, iron, gold and diamond armor, and selected utilities.
• Recycler-only recipes — recycling is available exclusively at this workstation.
• Native crafting screen and recipe book — craft individual batches or repeat a recipe to process more items.
• Building material recovery — recover up to the reviewed material cost, accounting for cheaper stonecutter recipes.
• Reduced equipment returns — tools and armor have fixed returns regardless of wear, usually less than half their original main material cost.
• English and Russian localization for the Recycler item and workstation.

How to use

1. Import the .mcaddon and activate both included Recycle Anything packs.
2. Craft a Recycler at an ordinary crafting table and place it.
3. Interact with the Recycler to open its crafting screen.
4. Choose a recycling recipe or put the required items in the grid.
5. Collect the materials. Repeat the recipe to recycle more items.

Recycling recipes cannot be used at an ordinary crafting table or in the inventory crafting grid. The Recycler does not store items or process them in the background.

Crafting

Craft one Recycler with 5 iron ingots, 1 chest and 3 cobblestone at a crafting table.

Recycling recipes

These examples are crafted only at the Recycler. Ingredients can be placed anywhere in its grid; the pictures show one possible arrangement.

Building pieces

2 oak stairs → 3 oak planks

2 oak slabs → 1 oak plank

3 oak fences → 4 oak planks

1 cobblestone stair → 1 cobblestone

8 iron bars → 3 iron ingots

Tools and armor

New and worn equipment give the same fixed return. Even an almost-broken item can be used in these recipes.

Diamond chestplate → 3 diamonds

Iron helmet → 2 iron ingots

Iron axe → 1 iron ingot

Iron shovel → 3 iron nuggets

📖 These are only examples — 269 recycling recipes available!

OPEN THE RECYCLER RECIPE BOOK TO SEE ALL SUPPORTED ITEMS.

More tools, armor, utility items, and wood and stone variants are available directly in the Recycler. The pictures above show only a selection.

Notes

• Exact batches: some recipes require several items, such as two slabs or three fences. Leftover items cannot form a partial recipe.
• Equipment: returns are less than half the full reviewed main material cost where possible, with a minimum of one material. Metal equipment worth one full ingot returns three nuggets instead.
• Special items: named, enchanted, dyed and custom-data items are not protected from recycling. Their special properties are lost when consumed.
• Main materials: secondary ingredients such as handles, books, dyes and moss are not recovered. Some decorative stone pieces return their underlying stone.
• Wood types: wooden tools and generic wooden furniture return oak planks.
• Excluded items: netherite, chainmail, copper variants, filled buckets, shulker boxes and other unreviewed items are unsupported.
• Compatibility: balance assumes vanilla recipes. Packs changing recipes or item behavior require separate compatibility checks.
• No fuel required.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.50 or newer
• Both included Recycle Anything Behavior and Resource Packs active
• No external add-ons, scripts, commands, cheats or experimental toggles required
