How to Smelt Trace Elements and Process New Metals

When mining underground with Jays Ores Mod, you will encounter deposits of realistic metals including aluminum, tin, titanium, lead, silver, uranium, and zinc. Alongside standard raw ores, you will also pick up raw trace elements.

Smelting Raw Ores and Trace Elements

1. Mine the newly added metal ore veins in caves to collect raw ores and raw trace elements.

2. Place your standard raw ores into a Furnace or Blast Furnace with fuel to smelt them into full metal ingots.

3. Place any raw trace elements you found into the furnace input slot. Unlike full raw ores, raw trace elements smelt directly into metal nuggets.

4. Once you have nine matching metal nuggets, place them in a 3x3 grid at a Crafting Table to combine them into a full ingot.

Crafting Storage Blocks and Using Creative Fuel

Just like vanilla metals, all newly added raw ores, ingots, and gemstones can be crafted into compact storage blocks at a Crafting Table to save inventory space, or crafted back down into individual items and nuggets.

If you are testing smelting setups or building in Creative mode, open the Creative inventory and search for the Everburning Ember. Place this item into the fuel slot of any furnace to serve as an endless fuel source that never runs out.
