Recycle Building Blocks Efficiently

Salvage Blocks from Builds

When you dismantle a structure or change your building plans, use the Salvage Table to recover the exact materials used to craft decorative and functional blocks.

1. Break or collect the crafted blocks you want to recycle

2. Open your Salvage Table

3. Place a stack of identical crafted blocks into the input slot (the table processes one item at a time)

4. Review the output grid to see what materials you'll recover

5. Take the items from the grid to complete the salvage

6. Repeat for each block type

Stacking and Efficiency

While you can place a full stack in the input slot, the Salvage Table only processes one item per operation. After you take items from the output grid, place the next block from your stack into the input slot to continue. This makes it easy to recycle large quantities of blocks—just keep feeding them in one at a time. You'll recover all your crafting materials without any loss.
