Gotta Smelt Em All!
Gotta Smelt Em All! lets the blast furnace accept sand glass, red sand, sandstone and several other blocks that vanilla does not smelt there, through a server-side change.
What it does
Vanilla blast furnaces refuse a number of blocks that players often want to smelt, such as sand, sandstone and red sandstone. This mod adds recipes so that these blocks can be processed in a blast furnace. The author describes it as a quality of life addition, extending the set of items the blast furnace can handle without changing other smelting behaviour.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Its builds cover 1.20.1 and the range 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and the Fabric file released on 2026-02-18 targets 1.21.11. The code is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Other mods that add smelting recipes to the blast furnace, such as Better Stoneworking, cover a different set of blocks and loaders.
Key features
Sand glass smelting
Sand glass can be smelted in a blast furnace, producing the glass that vanilla requires a regular furnace for.
Red sand and stained glass
Red sand and red stained glass are added as blast furnace inputs, so both can be processed in the same machine.
Sandstone variants
Sandstone and smooth sandstone are smelted in a blast furnace, with red sandstone and red smooth sandstone covered too.
Extra smelting options
Several further items become smeltable in the blast furnace, widening the blocks a player can process in one place.
