Efficient Raw Ore Blocks Smelting

by Syhmac

Efficient Raw Ore Blocks Smelting, formerly known as Raw Ore Blocks, lets players smelt raw ore blocks in one step, using less time and fuel than smelting each ore separately.

What it does

Smelting a raw ore block yields the same experience as smelting the nine single raw ores it contains, so no experience is lost by smelting the block instead. The mod is a datapack mod, so it installs without a loader in the same way as other data-driven changes. The mod is mainly used with copper, iron and gold, where smelting a full block of raw ore speeds up processing. The server needs the mod, while players may add it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for game versions 1.20 – 26.3 under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Whole-block smelting

    Raw ore blocks can be placed in a furnace or blast furnace and smelted as one item, cutting the time and fuel needed per ore.

  2. Experience kept

    Smelting a raw ore block grants the same experience as smelting its nine single raw ores.

  3. Copper, iron and gold

    The mod is mainly used with copper, iron and gold raw ore blocks, which are the ones players smelt in bulk.

What the author says

Efficient Raw Ore Blocks Smelting allows you to smelt and blast Raw Ore Blocks saving you a little bit of time and fuel when you have a ton of ore to smelt.
