Scott Kimberly Posted October 31, 2020 Report Posted October 31, 2020 Is there any way to undo an item if you havent started working it? I finally got tin bronze and was going to make a sword blade. I shift-right clicked to place the ingot on the anvil and it immediately just chose shears to make. This is extremely aggravating and not the first time. Is there a way to smelt it back down so I can make what I actually want?
Scott Kimberly Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Posted October 31, 2020 Nevermind, I figured it out. If you take the work item and put it back into a crucible, you can smelt it back into an ingot. 2 3
rodabon Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 I'm guessing this was a version prior to 1.6 I have the same issue where my mouse sometimes double clicks and I end up with a shears work item on the anvil. I tried to follow the solution above and it will not go into a slot in the crucible where you would normally put ores. It is frustrating to waste your precious ores.
Streetwind Posted July 4, 2022 Report Posted July 4, 2022 You might be able to craft it with a chisel to break the work item down into smeltable chunks, in the same way you can recycle ingots and anvils. 1
Jeremy Brown Posted August 5, 2022 Report Posted August 5, 2022 I tried this and I had accidentally chosen a chisel when I wanted to do bronze plates. I had two ingots and by using the chisel i only got 10 nuggets back I also tried using the chisel for the copper anvil I have and it didn't even work.

Your chisel requires a certain minimum durability for the recipe to work. It'll definitely work with a fresh chisel - if not, you're doing something wrong.
Eric McAlpine Posted August 26, 2022 Report Posted August 26, 2022 You can do the same with iron, but it will need put back through a bloomery. I'm not sure about steel. I think it also will need a bloomery trip, but maybe also run through the furnace + anvil again.
ClericalHeretic Posted September 30, 2023 Report Posted September 30, 2023 I'm a little late to the punch, but for the sake of future issues: I've done testing and as of 1.18.13, the only way to get your resources is to use a chisel on it in the crafting menu, which sucks considering how many items say they smelt back into an ingot. Maybe it'll be fixed in a future update?
