The Disassembler can be crafted in a Custom Crafter using the following recipe:

Stonecutter +

Cobblestone

Custom Crafter

Usage

To disassemble an item, place it in the center spot of the disassembler's inventory. The items returned will be based on the percent durability left on the item, plus some randomness. A more damaged tool will return less materials than a nearly undamaged tool. The returned materials will appear inside the disassembler.
