Epic Smelting
Epic Smelting, a Fabric mod from nethersparkstudios, makes armor, weapons and tools smelt into equivalent ingots.
What it does
Armor, weapons and tools can be smelted into their equivalent ingots, so items that would otherwise be lost to a crafting dead end return usable metal. The mod is server-side only, so a server running it works for players who have no mod installed, and the server itself requires a client build to be installed alongside it.
Epic Smelting is published for Fabric only, across two release versions, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved, which limits editing and redistribution of the files. Personal use is permitted, while sharing through monetized links is not.
Key features
Armor ingot smelting
Armor pieces smelt into the ingots of their material, returning metal from gear that is no longer wanted.
Weapon and tool smelting
Swords, axes, pickaxes and other tools break down into equivalent ingots through the furnace.
Server-side operation
Server-side support lets a server run the smelting rules for every player who joins.

What the author says
Server side is supported. You can install this on the server and not need to have it installed on the client. You can showcase my work in videos/streams if you give proper credit (e.g., link to the official download).
