Infernal Touch
by .0x
Infernal Touch is a Fabric enchantment that makes mined blocks arrive already smelted, so a pickaxe drops ingots instead of raw ore.
What it does
The Infernal Touch enchantment applies to mining tools. When a block is broken with it, the drop is replaced by its smelted form: stone yields stone instead of cobblestone, iron ore gives iron ingots, gold ore gives gold ingots, sand gives glass and clay gives terracotta. The enchantment is intended to be applied to a tool that will also carry Fortune, Unbreaking or Mending, which the mod lists alongside it as compatible.
The mod also covers ores from other mods, so modded ore blocks can be converted when the mod recognizes a smelting recipe for them. Infernal Touch carries a common weight of 10, which places it in the usual rarity of enchantments. It is published for Fabric only and needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on the server; clients may run it as well but do not need it.
Key features
Automatic smelting while mining
Blocks broken with the enchanted tool drop their smelted result directly, without a furnace step.
Common ores and sand
Iron, gold, stone, sand and clay each convert to a fixed smelted product when mined.
Modded ore support
Ore blocks added by other mods are handled too, provided they have a smelting result.
Enchantment weight
The enchantment has a common weight of 10, and it can be combined with Fortune, Unbreaking and Mending.

Use cases
Mining without a furnace

Players mining ores added by other mods can get smelted output on the same trip, with no separate smelting stop.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.1 who want smelting built into a mining tool, and server owners who run the enchantment alongside other Fabric equipment mods.
