SmeltingPlus
SmeltingPlus - Whippy's Plugins
Description
SmeltingPlus is a plugin that adds several Furnace and Crafting recipes to the game. The key idea behind this plugin though is that you should be able to smelt down items back into their original key component. So smelting an iron chest plate will give you 8 iron ingots, gold boots will give you 4 gold ingots and so on. Since diamonds and leather aren't really smelted these can be broken down at the crafting table!
What's more (and the reason this plugin was made) is that durability is taken into account. If an item is damaged we look at the % of the damage done, and the resulting smelt/craft will yield that % of what was put in. So a half damaged iron chest plate will give you 4 iron ingots not 8. The % is always rounded down to avoid people using this to generate infinite supplies, and if an item will produce less that 1 ingot it is not smelted and the player receives a message explaining the item is too damaged to smelt.
Configuration
By default all the recipes will be activated, but if for any reason you wish to turn off any recipes, you can under the config.yml by changing the appropriate true to false.
Additional Details
As well as recipes for breaking down armor, anvils, golden apples and so on their is an extra recipe in this plugin, the zombie flesh recipe. If smelted zombie flesh will turn to leather! This is mainly because in the past who hasn't ended up with 10 stacks of zombie flesh for no reason? Now you can smelt it into, the somewhat more useful, leather.
Support
This plugin has been built for 1.7 and will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future. It is used on my personal server and as such bug reports will be dealt with efficently

I can add permission groups so that each recipe can be given assigned a permission ID, to allow user specific permissions.
Do you think you can add permissions to smelt down items?

Hadn't seen salvage smelter until your comment but the reasons I'm developing this go beyond the durability feature all the same. I've been burned in the past waiting for upgrades for plugins and so decided, for at least the lighter plugins , to Dev my own and avoid complications for my personal server.
I agree that choice is a good thing. No jealousy here, putting it on here a courtesy to the bukkit community, how widely used it may end up being compared to its counterparts is of no concern. But feel free to put any desired features missing from salvage that you may want as I'm in the process of developing this now and any ideas are great.

Doesn't matter, don't be jealous Dev. It's good for everyone to have multiple options.
Salvage Smelter has been doing exactly that since 1.5.1
