Raw Ore Block Smelting to Blocks
Raw Ore Block Smelting to Blocks lets a furnace turn raw copper, raw gold and raw iron blocks straight into their metal blocks, skipping the ingot step.
What it does
Smelting a raw ore block with this mod produces the matching metal block in one pass, using an ordinary furnace. Without it, each raw block has to be smelted into ingots first and the ingots crafted into a block, which takes more time and fuel. The mod covers raw copper, raw gold and raw iron, and keeps the furnace recipes otherwise unchanged.
The change is aimed at players who gather large amounts of ore and want to convert them quickly. Smelting rates are kept at the vanilla level, so the trade between gathering and processing stays balanced across progression. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8. No required dependency is listed for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 8 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and the latest Fabric build, 1.5.5, targets 1.21.8. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Direct raw block smelting
Raw copper, raw gold and raw iron blocks smelt directly into their respective metal blocks in a furnace.
Fewer intermediate steps
The ingot stage is skipped, so each conversion needs one furnace pass instead of a smelt followed by a crafting step.
Vanilla smelting rate
The processing speed follows the furnace rules players already know, which keeps resource gain even through the game.
Furnace-based operation
No new machine or block is needed; the conversion uses the furnace already available in survival play.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who gather raw ore blocks often and want them converted into metal blocks with fewer steps. The mod suits survival and adventure play, and it has to be installed on the server and on every client.
