Raw Ore to Blocks
This datapack enables direct smelting of raw ore blocks into finished metal blocks, significantly speeding up the processing of large resource quantities. The main development goal was optimizing copper smelting, which is often mined in massive amounts, but the system also supports iron and gold.
Feature Balancing
To maintain balance and vanilla gameplay experience, the following limitations were implemented:
- Smelting time for one raw ore block equals processing 8 individual ore pieces, saving time equivalent to one ingot per block (1600 ticks in furnace, 800 ticks in blast furnace). Each block requires only one piece of coal, allowing fuel conservation.
- Smelting a raw ore block grants the same experience as processing 9 individual ore pieces, so no experience is lost.
Recipes
Adds 6 new recipes: 3 for regular furnace and 3 for blast furnace, enabling raw ore block smelting.
Advancements
Includes 4 new advancements, three of which reward players with additional experience points for smelting raw ore blocks.
Language Support
The datapack supports the following languages: English and Polish.
Compatibility
Updates are planned for full Minecraft releases. Additional add-ons for Fabric mods can be developed upon request.
