Setting Up Efficient Recycling Stations

Organizing Material Ratios

To recycle items efficiently without leaving loose, unusable components in your crafting grid, it helps to understand the exact exchange ratios used by the data pack:

• Diamond Tools: Requires seven tools for one diamond.
• Diamond Armor: Requires four armor pieces for one diamond.
• Smithing Templates: Requires four templates for one diamond.

Keep dedicated chests near your workspace sorted by these categories so you can quickly see when you have reached the necessary threshold to produce whole diamonds.

Setting Up the Crafting Area

1. Place a crafting table adjacent to your storage area. While armor pieces and smithing templates can be recycled in your basic 2x2 personal inventory grid (since they each need four slots), recycling diamond tools strictly requires a 3x3 crafting table grid to hold all seven tools.

3. Insert the materials into the crafting table slots and withdraw your returned diamonds.

This organized setup ensures smooth resource loops and prevents misplaced gear from cluttering your base.
