Instant Smelt

Instant Smelt

A lightweight datapack that automatically smelts ores the moment you mine them.

Stop wasting time running back to furnaces or managing stacks of coal. With Instant Smelt, broken ores drop their refined metal right away, letting you stay out in the caves and focus on building and exploring.

Performance Note: Built with efficient, clean Minecraft functions to ensure zero lag or TPS drops—even with high-speed mining or large vein-miners.

Features

• Instant Processing: Ores drop their smelted form directly onto the ground or into your inventory.
• Fortune Compatible: Fortune enchantments scale your ingot drops just like normal ores.
• Silk Touch Support: Silk Touch is fully respected; mining with it will drop the raw ore block as expected.
• XP Drops: You still earn standard smelting experience directly when breaking ores.

Supported Conversions

(Also handles standard gem/dust drops like Diamond, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Redstone, and Quartz smoothly).

Installation

1. Download the Instant-Smelt.zip file.
2. Open your Minecraft world save folder and go to the datapacks directory.
3. Drop the .zip file straight into the folder (no need to extract it).
4. Type /reload in your game chat or restart your server.

Compatibility

• Minecraft Version: Compatible with 1.20 and newer.
• Multiplayer: Works fully server-side. Players do not need to install anything on their clients.

Why use this?

It's a simple, lightweight datapack that relies on native vanilla mechanics. It won't mess with your save files, won't cause lag, and stays out of your way so you can just play the game.

Tired of interrupting your mining expeditions to stare at a furnace UI? Instant Smelt eliminates the middleman. The moment your pickaxe breaks an ore, it is instantly purified into its refined form. Spend less time managing coal and more time building, exploring, and conquering your world.

Performance Focused: Built using optimized, modern Minecraft scripting to ensure zero TPS drops, even when vein-mining or using high-efficiency tools.
