Recycling Mob Farm Weapons and Tools

Smelting Salvaged Equipment

Dungeons, mob grinders, and raid farms quickly fill your storage with excess tools and weapons. Instead of tossing these items or storing them in overflow chests, you can recycle them directly into usable metal ingots.

1. Place down a standard furnace and load the lower fuel slot with standard furnace fuel, such as coal.

2. Insert unwanted tools or weapons (such as an iron hoe) into the top smelting slot.

3. Once the arrow fills, retrieve your newly recovered base ingot from the right-hand output slot.

Efficient Loot Management

This smelting mechanic supports iron, gold, diamond, and netherite gear. Whenever you return from a raid or empty a mob grinder collection hopper, set up a dedicated bank of furnaces nearby. Feeding your excess weapon drops directly into smelters keeps storage clean while steadily refunding raw ingots back into your main resource stockpile.
