Raw Ores Processing

by MangoJellyPudding

Raw Ores Processing lets furnaces and blast furnaces smelt raw ore blocks into their metal ingots, a recipe that vanilla Minecraft does not provide.

What it does

Raw ore blocks, such as raw iron, raw gold and raw copper, can be placed into a furnace or blast furnace and melted into the matching ingot. The added recipes make raw ore blocks a practical source of metal once a player has mined them in bulk, instead of only smelting the single raw ores dropped by mining.

Smelting a raw ore block takes nine times longer than smelting a single raw ore, and the experience awarded is nine times larger, so the trade-off stays in balance. The mod adds Planeteer Core as a related item, and it works alongside the standard furnace, blast furnace and smoker screens without changing their basic behavior.

Server owners install the mod on the server, which is where the recipes run. Players can join without it, and installing it on the client adds nothing. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build, 1.6+mod, covering 1.21.3, and the mod is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Raw ore block smelting

    Raw ore blocks are accepted by furnaces and blast furnaces and produce the matching metal ingot.

  2. Balanced smelting time

    Raw ore blocks take nine times longer to smelt than single raw ores, which keeps the recipe from being a shortcut.

  3. Scaled experience

    Smelting a raw ore block awards nine times the experience of a single raw ore.

  4. Planeteer Core item

    The mod adds a Planeteer Core item tied to its processing recipes.
