Raw Block Smelting

Transforming Raw Blocks in Furnaces

This datapack introduces the ability to smelt raw mineral blocks (copper, iron, gold) into regular metal blocks in both standard and blast furnaces. The main distinction from similar modifications is the commitment to maintain game balance.

Processing Features

The smelting time for a raw block slightly exceeds the total processing time for individual resource units - 2000 ticks (or 1000 for blast furnace), equivalent to 10 standard items.

Smelting Reward

Experience gained from processing a complete block is somewhat less than the sum for individual parts - 5.6 experience points, equivalent to 8 raw minerals.
