Automatic Smelt

by quillphen

Automatic Smelt makes mined ores and blocks drop their smelted forms, so players receive ingots and cooked items straight from the break.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only1.21.1 – 1.21.10

What it does

When a player breaks certain blocks, the drop is the smelted or cooked version instead of the raw material. This skips the furnace for common materials, so ingots are usable immediately. Deepslate ore variants are included, and carrying ingots instead of raw ores means the same stack size holds more value.

Special tools are needed for the automatic smelting behavior, and they are crafted from the mod's own recipes. The server must run the mod, while the client may add it to gain the same behavior locally. It is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it not open source, and credit to the author is requested. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest build covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.10.

Key features

  1. Smelted block drops

    Breaking certain blocks drops the smelted or cooked form in place of the raw material.

  2. Deepslate ore variants

    Deepslate ore variants follow the same drop rule as the standard ores.

  3. Crafted special tools

    Special tools are crafted and used to trigger the automatic smelting on break.

  4. Stacks of ingots

    Ingots take the place of raw ores, giving the same stack size with more value per slot.

Use cases

Server economies

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want mined ores to arrive smelted. The server must run the mod, and players may install it on the client.

How it compares

Full comparison

Auto-Smelt Ores is also available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, but only for 1.21.10, and it is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its environment works on either side, and neither needs it. Smelt Raw Block covers 26.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License, is not open source, and needs the server while the client stays optional.
