Smelter's Pickaxe

by bungallnfection

Smelter's Pickaxe is a NeoForge tool mod: a pickaxe that smelts the blocks it mines, as an alternative to the Iron Pickaxe.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

Blocks broken with the pickaxe are smelted on the spot, so ores can drop their refined form directly. The item is styled as an equivalent to the Iron Pickaxe. Installation needs only NeoForge, and the mod is built for 1.21.1 alone.

Environment: both the server and every player need the mod. Files are published under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Auto-smelting pickaxe

    The pickaxe smelts mined blocks automatically, removing the need for a separate furnace step.

  2. Iron Pickaxe equivalent

    The tool is positioned as a stand-in for the Iron Pickaxe tier, with the smelting behavior added.

  3. Planned updates

    The author lists a few projects for future work and says further releases will be posted as they come.
