This mod will allow you to salvage some resources from tools, armor, and a few other things. Now instead of just letting that iron chestplate or diamond pickaxe wear down to nothing, you can do the smart thing and salvage what you can before it breaks entirely.
The salvaging process works by putting a pickaxe of a certain type above the item to be salvaged from in a crafting area, like so:
To salvage from shovels, you need to put two shovels next to each other with an appropriate pickaxe above either one. For example:
In general, you need a wooden pick to salvage gold, a stone pick to salvage iron, and an iron pick to salvage diamond. Here is a comprehensive list for your convenience of what each pickaxe can salvage and what you get back:
Stone Pickaxe
Iron Tools/Sword -- 1 iron ingot
Iron Helmet/Boots -- 2 iron ingots
Iron Leggings -- 3 iron ingots
Iron Chestplate -- 4 iron ingots
Chainmail Helmet/Boots -- 1 iron ingots
Chainmail Leggings -- 1 iron ingots
Chainmail Chestplate -- 2 iron ingots
Bucket -- 1 iron ingot
Minecart -- 2 iron ingots
Iron Door -- 3 iron ingots
Compass -- 2 iron ingots
Wow! That was fast and this is very Cool. One question, Is this for alpha1.2.6 or Beta 1.102?
Oh sorry, forgot to mention that. Yea, it's for Beta. Added it to the topic title.
EPIC! This is a musthave!
A great thing for people that aint so lucky while mining.
That's the idea! Glad you like it.
Also, as far as improvement on it, I'd like to make it so that maybe tools like picks and axes could give you 2 resources back if they're still in good shape. I'd have to look into how to do that, though. If anyone's got any other ideas, feel free to mention them.

Great idea
This works great and its compatible with all the other mods I am running thanks.
(Idea) Could you add the compass to the stone pick salvage list? I have ended up with a few compasses that just sit in inventory.

Yea it should be compatible with any mod that doesn't use the same recipes (and I can't imagine that any would). Also, compass salvaging sounds good. I might also add watches, too (for people running mods that give some other use to gold).
what about with shovels make it so you need 2 shovels of a kind to get 1 resource
I thought about that, like you would put them beside each other with the pick on top. I guess I could put it in.
Dropbox is a good one. haven't tried box.net, but looks good. If you have Ubuntu you can use Ubuntu One
Thanks for the recommendations, but I'd rather not have to download/sign up for anything. I don't really use file hosting services all that often. I might try them out sometime though.
Also, new version up. You can now salvage from compasses, clocks, and shovels (at the cost of 2 shovels).
Not only do we have the option of living in the mines looking for that allusive iron, we can now brave the great outdoors looking for all that knight fodder left over from the daily battles. This mod is also very helpful in keeping the balance until the better ores mod is updated. Thanks
Two iron shovels and a stone pick for one single iron ingot?
Or do you wait until the two shovels and the pick are down to almost nothing, and then get the iron ingot?
Perhaps you could make a different version that gives you three ingots.

SineCraft Texture Pack -- For a smoother, cleaner Minecraft
Well I'm already using mediafire, but I didn't sign up. Is it better for the person downloading if the uploader is registered?
But anyway, less about that and more about the mod please.
