lets say you make a bunch of objects and you don't want them anymore but you don't want to waste, well, I though that you could make a recycle bin that would give you resources for stuff you don't want, like a Recycle bin
here are some examples -
[>>-i>] -> x1
-> x4
iron pickaxe -> x1
-> x1
-> x4 (don't know why you'd waste that but whatever)
-> x2
-> x3
-> books x2
-> bricks x3
wooden door -> x4
iron door -> x4
-> x8

yeah yeah etc. you get the point...
I was thinking that this would be a nice place to put a secret, like, when you recycle 1000 things, then flowers and mushrooms would grow around it, and every time you recycle 10000 things, you find a sponge inside, and every 50000 times you would look at the recycle thing and find an animal spawner inside it
^^^^^(my attempt to make the recycle bin cool)^^^^^

also if you put a garbage block in it (link to the thread below) then it will produce a random object, determining on the rarity of the object, which i suggest objects like mossy cobblestone to be hard to get off of this

AND IT WOULD PROMOTE RECYCLING xD!!!

please add to my Idea or comment

Sounds like a great idea and a fun addition to minecraft. I fully support this idea!

I support this idea.

I support this idea.

Would mean i could make use of my first wooden pickaxe other than mining 3 cobble.

I like this idea, nothing setting breaking, practical .

I fully support this, great idea.

Would be cool if it returned floor random 2/3rds of the material needed to make the recycled item.

[>>-i>] > random 2 out of these ( ]" title="-<->" /> )
> random 6 out of these ( )

and etc.

I like it! Very fitting to minecraft.

I support!

Though iron door should give you 6 iron, but only if melted.

well, I was thinking that giving you all of your materials back might not be completely realistic, but if notch decides to add that (if he considers this idea) then I'd be fine with it

of this! :biggrin.gif: Sounds awesome.

Heavily worn tools should definitely return fewer items than new ones.

Quote from Islacrusez »

Anything that uses iron should be able to be smelted (in the furnace perhaps) to return only the iron that was put in. Iron should not be recoverable any other way.

+1 for the guy that said random 2/3 of the needed materials are recovered (excluding iron)
+1 for the general idea

yeah, 2/3 would be nice I support that add-on

and thank you guys for the support ^-^

Sorry for bumping, but I was gonna post the same thing.This is a great idea, and I want the same!

This actually isn't a half bad suggestion. It'd be very useful for those moments when you realize you've made too many tools, and want those resources back.

Looks pretty cool.
