Climate Smelting & Natural Change

Instead of traditional furnace recipes, many items in HaC are created through Climate Smelting. This occurs when a block or item entity is placed in the world and exposed to specific climate conditions.

• Block Transformation: Placing a "Metal Dust Block" in a KILN temperature area will eventually turn it into a "Metal Ingot Block."
• Entity Cooking: Dropping raw meat near a campfire (HOT/BOIL) will cause it to transform into grilled meat after a short duration.
• Drying: Wet Sponges placed in a DRY/HOT environment will naturally revert to Dry Sponges.

Players can use the Climate Checker item to see the exact parameters of their current location to ensure recipes progress correctly.
