Even more Fantastic Smelting
Even more Fantastic Smelting adds smelting recipes for raw resource blocks, so a stack of raw iron, gold or copper can be smelted as a block to save time and inventory space.
What it does
Raw resource blocks such as iron, gold and copper blocks, along with smooth stone and dried kelp, can be smelted in furnaces and blast furnaces. Smelting a block returns a compact result, which the author reports reduces smelting time by about 25 percent and saves about 90 percent of the space the items occupy. The author also reports that experience gained from smelting drops by about 45 percent.
The mod is a small addition to the smelting system rather than a replacement for it. Its recipes are added alongside the vanilla furnace and blast furnace behavior, so existing smelting still works. It is published for Fabric and Forge across 1.21.3 – 1.21.5, and the code is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
