Kleeb's Smelting Pickaxes
by Kleeb
Kleeb's Smelting Pickaxes adds three pickaxe tiers that smelt the ores they break, from the Furnace Pickaxe up to the Starforged Pickaxe.
What it does
Three pickaxes each auto-smelt what they break, with the tier setting how far up the ore list the smelting reaches: the Furnace Pickaxe handles iron, the Blaze Pickaxe takes diamond, and the Starforged Pickaxe covers netherite. Only the NeoForge loader is supported, and builds exist for 1.21.8 alone. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Furnace Pickaxe
The entry-level tier smelts iron ore as it is broken, so iron ingots come straight from the block.
Blaze Pickaxe
The middle tier extends the smelting to diamond ore, returning the processed item directly.
Starforged Pickaxe
The top tier smelts netherite ore, the hardest material in the set, into its result as it is broken.
