Blast Ancient Debris changes the recipe so that a blast furnace is the only way to smelt ancient debris into netherite scraps.

What it does

Ancient debris smelts into netherite scraps only in a blast furnace, so ordinary furnaces no longer process it. The change is a data pack that runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it needs the server to run it while players may leave it out. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions, with 2.0+mod for 26.3 as the latest.

Key features

Blast furnace only
Ancient debris can be smelted into netherite scraps only in a blast furnace, not a regular furnace.
Netherite scrap recipe
The recipe that yields netherite scraps is the only smelting change the pack makes.
Data pack delivery
The change ships as a data pack, so a server can apply it without a separate loader mod.

Questions

Does Blast Ancient Debris need to be installed on the client?

No. The server must run it, while a player's client can skip it and works either way, since neither side is required to have it.

Can the pack be used commercially?

No. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the mod may not be used for making money.
