Popcorn Smelting

The mod brings back a lost feature from the Indev release - in-world smelting capability. Instead of using a furnace, you can simply drop resources into fire or lava, and they'll automatically transform into processed materials.

Key Features:

• Compatibility required on both client and server due to custom entity implementation
• Technical limitations stem from Forge architecture, but the mod maintains its simplicity and efficiency
• Version 1.3 introduced CraftTweaker integration for custom recipe creation The interface mirrors vanilla furnace setup but uses mods.popcornsmelting instead of furnace method calls Also includes configuration option to disable automatic inheritance of standard furnace recipes

Recipe Example:

mods.popcornsmelting.addRecipe(<minecraft:speckled_melon>, <minecraft:melon>, 1500);
