Better Recycling

Better Recycling makes Minecraft more sustainable by introducing a variety of crafting and stonecutting recipes that let players recycle items and blocks. With this datapack, you can recover materials from previously crafted items and blocks, adding a fun and practical way to manage your resources.

Slabs to Blocks

Combine 2 slabs of any type to get back 1 full block.

Stairs to Blocks

Convert stairs back into blocks, 2 stairs yield 1 full block.

Carpets to Wool

Item and Tool recycling
