Auto Smelt Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.6) brings back the classic mining behavior where ores directly drop ingots instead of raw variants. In recent versions of Minecraft, players are required to smelt raw ores like Raw Iron or Raw Gold before they can use the resulting ingots. This two-step process can be tedious especially in early gameplay or when mining large quantities. With this mod installed, ores instantly yield their ingot form, skipping the furnace stage entirely.
Perfect for players who prefer a faster, streamlined mining experience, Auto Smelt Mod is compatible with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, and ensures your mining trips are as productive as possible without unnecessary smelting downtime.

FAQs
Which ores are affected by this mod?
All vanilla ores that drop raw items—such as Iron, Gold, and Copper are affected. They now drop ingots directly. Modded ores may also work if supported by the mod’s backend.
Do I need Silk Touch or Fortune for better drops?
No special enchantments are required to activate auto-smelting. However, using Fortune may still increase the number of ingots dropped depending on mod settings.
Can I toggle the auto-smelt feature?
Some versions of the mod may include a config file where you can enable or disable the auto-smelt behavior or limit it to specific tools. Check the mod’s config folder after first run.
Does this mod work on modded ores?
It depends. Some modded ores may be supported natively, while others may require manual configuration or an addon to be compatible.
Is the mod compatible with multiplayer or modpacks?
Yes, as long as both the client and server (if applicable) have the mod installed. It works well in modpacks that focus on quality-of-life improvements.
