# Unpackable Wool 🐑

#### 🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

* **4 String** in a square shape crafts **1 Wool Block**
* But once crafted, **there’s no way to uncraft wool** back into string

With this datapack installed:

* You can **shapelessly uncraft**:
  * **1 Wool Block → 4 String**

This recipe works for **all 16 wool colors**, making it a versatile utility tweak.

**🔁 Shapeless Recipe:**

```
1 [Any Colored] Wool → 4 String
```

No specific placement is needed — just toss the wool block into any crafting slot.
