Smelt Raw Ore Blocks for Bulk Processing

Processing Raw Ore Blocks

Instead of mining individual ore and smelting nuggets, you can now smelt entire raw ore blocks directly:

• Raw Iron Blocks and Raw Copper Blocks: Smelt in a standard furnace or blast furnace.
• Raw Gold Blocks: Smelt in a blast furnace for faster results.

Place the raw ore block in the furnace's top slot and add fuel below, just like normal smelting.

Efficiency Gains

This recipe eliminates the tedious step of smelting individual raw ore. A single raw ore block yields a full metal block, making large mining operations significantly faster to process. Blast furnaces cut smelting time in half, so use them for gold and iron when speed matters.

Setup tip: Position furnaces or blast furnaces near your mining storage to quickly convert raw blocks into usable materials without cluttering your inventory.
