Frequently asked questions

How do I make raw ore blocks?
Collect 9 raw ore items (raw copper, raw iron, or raw gold) and arrange them in a 3×3 pattern on a crafting table to create one raw ore block. You can then place this block into a furnace or blast furnace to smelt it into a full metal block.
Do I need a blast furnace or can I use a regular furnace?
Both work—the mod adds smelting recipes for standard furnaces and blast furnaces. Blast furnaces cook faster, but regular furnaces work just fine if that's what you have available.
How much fuel does one raw ore block use?
One raw ore block consumes one piece of coal (or equivalent fuel) to smelt completely, regardless of whether you use a furnace or blast furnace.
Do I lose experience when smelting raw ore blocks instead of individual ores?
No—smelting one raw ore block grants the same experience points as smelting 9 individual raw ores, so you never lose EXP.
