• tools (Ingredient): Tools this salvage recipe is applicalbe to
• modifier (Modifier): Modifier being removed
• min_level (integer): Minimum level of the modifier for this salvage to apply
• max_level (integer): Maximum level of the modifier for this salvage to apply
• slots (SlotCount): Slots restored from this recipe

Examples

Defines removing the fireprimer modifier from a tool. The tool regains 1 upgrade slot, and between 1 and 4 flint are gained, along with a 35% chance of gaining 1 netherite scrap. The salvage is only applicable if the tool has between 2 and 4 levels of fireprimer.

  • full (boolean): if true, returns 1 salvage item per item on the tool. If false, returns between 0 and the number applied.
