FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.18 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds smelting recipes for metal blocks, so a block can be processed in either a furnace or a blast furnace. It is built to work alongside other mods that add ores, and it includes integrations for a number of metal sets from several mods, along with content from Ad Astra, Beyond Earth and Astral Dimension.

Two output modes are available. The ingot version returns a set number of ingots per block with a shorter processing time and less experience, while the proportional version returns nine ingots for the same time and experience as smelting nine separate ones. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for game versions 1.18 – 1.20.1, and it is client-side only. Files are published for 1.20.1 as the latest release, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Metal block smelting

    Metal blocks can be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace, which turns them into ingots.

  2. Ingot version

    A faster mode returns a set number of ingots per block, using less time and experience than smelting one by one.

  3. Integrations for other ore mods

    Recipes cover metal sets from a long list of mods, including Ad Astra, Beyond Earth and Astral Dimension.

Who it’s for: Players and modpack builders who use ore mods with metal blocks and want a furnace route to their ingots.

What the author says

There are two versions as of now: Ingot and Proportional. The Ingot version has the time and experience set to that of an ingot, so it'll be much faster, but you'll get less exp for doing so.
