About this project
What does Furnace Recycle add?

Furnace Recycle adds smelt recipes to all metal-containing vanilla items. You won't get as much back as it costs to construct the item, but the little iron and gold adds up. Smelt the rails from mineshafts or steal the bell from a village. You probably don't even have to go mining anymore! As each item returns less, there is no risk of duplication.
The full list of smelting recipes is below. Smelting each item takes 200 ticks and gives 0.1 experience.
Anvil:
Bell:
Cauldron:
(Soul) Lantern:
Stonecutter:
