Salvagers Table Mod FAQ

Craft a Salvage Table by placing one crafting table in the center with four iron ingots arranged around it in a plus pattern. Once crafted, place it in your world and right-click to open it.

The Salvage Table only works with items that have a single, unambiguous crafting recipe without leftover byproducts. Items with multiple possible recipes or those that produce extra materials won't salvage.

Your input item is returned unharmed—the uncrafting only completes once you take the first item from the output grid. This lets you preview the results risk-free.

Yes, you must place the correct stack size of the crafted item in the input slot for the table to recognize and preview the recipe. Check the preview grid to confirm the recipe matches before taking items.

The Salvage Table automatically reads crafting recipes from datapacks and other mods, so it works with any custom items that follow standard crafting recipe formats.

Yes, the Salvage Table handles both shaped recipes (where ingredient position matters) and shapeless recipes (where order doesn't matter) equally well.

Enchanted items typically have additional data beyond their base recipe, which prevents salvaging. The table only reverses items in their default, unmodified state.

No, the Salvage Table requires no fuel, energy, or consumable materials—it simply reverses recipes using the crafting data already in the game.

No, the mod ignores recipes with leftover byproducts to prevent exploits. Only recipes that return all original ingredients will work.

Salvaging is instant and doesn't require you to remember or arrange the recipe pattern—you just place the finished item and collect your materials back from the preview grid.
