The alloy smelter combines multiple items into one. It has four input slots and one output slot. Additional recipes can be added with data packs. The alloy smelter requires Forge Energy to work. Energy is used at a fixed rate while the machine is working, and no energy while it is not.

Recipes can be added with data packs. The files can be anywhere in data/*/recipes/ (where * is the namespace of your data pack). The recipe type is silents_mechanisms:alloy_smelting.

• process_time - The time (in ticks) required to process one item. Energy used per tick is constant, so this also affects the total energy consumed.
• ingredients - The input items (array of objects). This can be any ingredient type (typically item or tag). Each object can contain an optional count property (defaults to 1).
  • count (optional) - The number of items consumed to produce one result
• result - The recipe result
