You can?

Yep; Broken glass is a thing, Munch away..........Side effects may include massive internal hemorrhaging.

Originally posted by Teresa: This has been asked on the official forums many times. The answer is that all recipes currently only give 1 output item and changing that just to get back empty glass jars is not worth the code time.

Correct. As it currently stands the system cannot give 2 outputs for any given craft; So you either get back the jar, Or you get the item you were crafting. Given that most scenarios don't necessitate more than one return. And the only thing that really does, which is glass jars is not terribly hard to obtain, So it's not really worth it to them to go to all the trouble of entirely revamping the -entire- crafting system just so it can output two items at once.

That said, The common sense mod iirc does a workaround that gives you back the jar upon consuming the food item that used it.

But even then, It's trouble that isn't really necessary....Glass jars are so plentiful that even on day one you have a bunch of em. And by mid game you can just go sweep up a ton of sand and clay and craft hundreds.

It's not like it's hard to mod it in either. A few of the items even have the code already there, but commented out.
