🏗️ Overview
WorldsMH Fast-Smelter is a lightweight datapack / mod that accelerates vanilla furnace smelting operations. Place smeltable items above a furnace and it will convert them immediately, bypassing the normal smelting time. It’s ideal for automation, factory setups, or just speeding up your gameplay.
🔧 Features v1 – Core fast smelting (stable)
Instantly smelts any valid furnace input placed above the furnace.
No automatic insertion into inventory — you still pick up the output manually.
No XP gain from smelting in this version.
Works reliably across multiple versions of Minecraft.
v2 (Beta) – Enhanced usability
In addition to instant smelting, v2 adds auto pickup: the smelted output is placed directly into your inventory, and the actionbar notifies you which item was added.
Grants XP gain from smelted items, mimicking vanilla smelting rewards.
Because of those features, v2 may have compatibility limitations and may sometimes lose some ores during conversion (especially with precarious setups).
Tailored for versions where v2 support is viable.
⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations
V1 is more stable and compatible across many Minecraft versions; v2 is experimental and may not work in all worlds or with all modpacks.
The datapack may lose items in edge cases (especially in v1, but v2 also has some risk).
Because v2 performs inventory insertion, it can conflict with other mods/datapacks handling inventory.
You may not receive XP when using v1, and in v2 the XP mechanics attempt to mimic vanilla smelting but may differ slightly.
