Uncrafting/Uncrafter Mob

This would be a creature that eats (some?) items and breaks them down into their various crafting components.

Like how smelting tools only gives you a portion of the materials back, this may not always result in all of the crafting materials being returned (the mob has to eat somehow), but it should still return most of the components back.

Uncraftable items and blocks would obviously not be able to be uncrafted. For example, you would not be able to uncraft music discs or tridents.

    I would love it if the crafting table GUI symbol was incorporated into the texture somehow

    Keeping the mob well fed may affect how many items get returned. If it's starving, it will consume most (or maybe even all) of the items, but if it's been recently fed, it may only eat one item component.

    It may be able to separate out armor trims, pottery sherds, dyes, and even enchantments.
