ForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalCustom license1.20.1 – 1.20.4

What it does

Recipes for smelting and blasting raw ore blocks from Blue Skies are added by this data pack, which saves some fuel and time per batch. An advancement grants a small amount of experience the first time a player uses one of these recipes. Blue Skies and Efficient Raw Ore Blocks Smelting are both required, so both must be installed alongside this add-on. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, and the server needs it while players may skip it.

Key features

  1. Raw ore block smelting

    Raw ore blocks from Blue Skies can be smelted, which yields the ingot or block output without a manual step.

  2. Blast furnace recipes

    The same ore blocks also have blasting recipes, so a blast furnace can process them faster than a standard furnace.

  3. First-use experience reward

    An advancement awards extra experience points the first time a player smelts or blasts one of these blocks.
