Smelt Touch
Smelt Touch makes mined blocks come out already processed: break iron ore and an iron ingot drops, break sand and glass drops.
What it does
Blocks that a furnace could cook are smelted as they are mined, so the items picked up are the processed result rather than the raw form. The server's furnace recipes decide what each block yields, including recipes added by datapacks and other mods. Filters for which blocks are affected are set in the configuration files, described in CONFIGURATION.md. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it. Builds cover 26.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and KotlinLangForge required, and the code is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the project open source.
Key features
Automatic smelting
Mined blocks are smelted on the spot, so the drop is the cooked item instead of the raw one.
Recipe-driven results
Any furnace recipe on the server applies, including those added by datapacks or other mods.
Configurable filters
Which blocks are affected is set through configuration files, with an ID list syntax documented in CONFIGURATION.md.

What the author says
Mined blocks are smelted automatically, so the items can be picked up in their processed state, as if they had come fresh out of a furnace. Break an iron ore and you get an iron ingot. Break sand and you get glass. Everything the server's furnace recipes know about works, including recipes added by datapacks or other…
