Smelt Mining
by SushiWaUmai
Smelt Mining adds an enchantment that smelts block drops the moment a player breaks a block, so ores come out as ingots and sand becomes glass.
What it does
When a tool carries the enchantment, drops from a broken block pass through the matching furnace recipe before they reach the player. Ores yield their ingots, sand yields glass, and the furnace experience for each smelted item is awarded as well. The mod needs Fabric API, and the server must run it, while a client can join without installing anything.
Players can choose which blocks get smelted and tune the experience dropped, so a server can shape how the enchantment behaves. Supported tools carry the effect, and an export option lets a server owner build a custom version of the mod for a specific mod loader.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Files cover 15 release versions, and the latest build for every loader is 1.1.1, dated 2026-09-19. Smelt Mining is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
