How to Salvage Netherite Tools for Scraps

Salvaging Unwanted Tools

Players frequently accumulate spare netherite tools from exploration, trading, or shifting gear setups. If you have extra pickaxes, swords, axes, or shovels lying around in your storage chests, the Netherite Recycling Data Pack gives you a practical way to repurpose your old gear.

Processing Tools in a Furnace

Head to your nearest furnace or blast furnace to start salvaging. Insert your old netherite tools into the smelting input slot. Add fuel to activate the furnace and let the machine process the item. As the tool melts down, the data pack enables you to recover valuable netherite scraps instead of losing your investment. Collect your reclaimed netherite scraps from the output slot once the bar finishes, and store them safely until you are ready to craft your next set of high-tier equipment.
