FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Is there code you can right a mod to deconstruct a item. For example, LV Hydro generator, decraft to get the diamond and machine casting.

Hmm, might be an awesome machine! I wouldn't want that as a craft item, but as a tool or machine it would be awesome!

One problem is that some things have multiple recipes so you would need some sort of mechanism to choose which one you want. Unified Inventory has a little code that might be purposed for this. You would also need to choose which item you would want from group items in recipes.

Would that allow crafting dyes back to flowers?
