Item Source Finder
Reverse-lookup: pick any common item and see every way to get it — crafting, mining, trading, looting, or mob drops.
Focuses on commonly-sought items with a single or small number of real sources — not every item in the game. Multiplayer/trading-hall strategies are omitted; this lists vanilla survival sources only.
