I've been sitting on this idea for a few weeks. It's a niche use case for sure.

I just want something like this because I have too much fun killing hordes of zombie piglins for gold, and getting my inventory filled up with golden swords, spears, etc. I want them to be worth more than just one nugget of gold.

  1. We don’t need another furnace. Just stick your metal items into a normal furnace and get nuggets.

  2. I like the idea, also helps with the gazillion random stuff from villagers too.

    I just think that it costing netherite is too much, and maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see why it can’t recycle diamond? Is it because diamond is a gem and not a metal?

    I like it, but itf it’s going to cost Netherite, the nuggets should come in multiples of 9, not 8. By that point in the game’s progression, getting a nugget or two from some loose armour is definitely not overpowered.

    Hmm, I’m assuming it doesn’t work with diamonds cause otherwise you could just abuse it with mending to essentially get a diamond farm.

  6. Is it really a recycler if it only accepts iron/copper and gold? Make it recycle/smelt every item into nuggets of its basic crafting material, which then you can craft into the original blocks. You accidentally crafted 1 stack of cobblestone walls? Put them into the recycler to get back a batch of cobblestone nuggets that you’ll craft into full blocks. Also, they could give this whole feature to the blast furnace and make it really useful and different than the common furnace.

  7. It’s nice and all – but can we not have a hopper that can point up?? 😂

    I absolutely love this idea, but I don’t think it should be a separate furnace.

    The blast furnace really needs an upgrade, and this could be one (of many) things to make the blast furnace much more useful than just smelting ores faster.

    Thiiiiissssssss as an avid Minecraft hoarder, I need this, and this is why I specifically play Jaba, so I can play Pinker’s contract. So all my scrap pieces of armor get have a use. So also why I played the disenchanting mod

    I like this idea a lot and is something I’ve wanted for a while, the only thing is that it costing netherite is too much. Maybe echo shards would be a good replacement since they little use and aren’t extremely easy to find.
