CraftBack for Bukkit
Inactive - use is not recommended on MC 1.5.x or later. Future updates are unlikely with the DMCA drama
CraftBack for Bukkit is a plugin - no client mod is required and anyone without the mod can still use it!
CraftBack for Bukkit is based on the mod CraftBack where you can craft your items... backwards! Most crafted items in the game can be reversed with CraftBack. See below for examples:
Here we simply turn 4 planks back into a wooden log:

All items in CraftBack are shapeless. You can put the items anywhere in the crafting table as shown below:


BUT the crafting table is not overriden, don't worry!

Here are some more examples of possible recipes (these are NOT all of them - only a few):

Posted May 27, 2012Please fix the cookies because you can duplicate them. 2 wheat + 1 cocoa bean = 8 cookies and 1 cookie = 1 cocoabean ?

Posted May 26, 2012First of all, sorry I have been very busy in the last month. An update for this will come soon. Although, the plugin does work as it is atm (1.2 recipes aren't there though).
@Pandamatak
Planned.
@termobyte
That could be a typo. I'll go check if this is actually the case.
@Matthiaswagg
This should work with 1.2.5 but recipes introduced in 1.2 won't be there. I'll add them and release an update soon.
@ThoLav
Thank you for that, will fix in next update coming very soon.
@turtledude01
I could do this. But it would change the point of this plugin quite a bit. I might release a separate plugin to do this.
@Paczqa
Will fix asap.

Posted May 13, 2012You should make it so you can create your own recipies by adding a config file that is for example- Items to put in: items to get out -If this is possible it would make this plugin WAy better.

Posted May 1, 2012Hi,
found an error.
When recrafting diamond shoes, 4 diamonds needed to craft, you'll get back 6 diamonds! It's the same with leather, gold, iron!

Posted Mar 18, 2012If you do make a config can you make an option to disable all by default so we can turn on the ones we like?

Posted Feb 23, 2012You should hook this up with permissions so only certain people can use it would be a great plugin for me if it had permissions use :D But great job

Posted Feb 21, 2012Can you release the source? I am curious how you added new recipes without using spout hooks.
I would like to do the same method to create other new recipes.
