Behavior

1. When a block is mined:

   • The effect checks if the drop has a furnace recipe
   • If yes, the drop is replaced with the smelted result
   • Flame particles appear at the block location
   • XP from smelting is added to the drop event

2. Works with other effects:

   • Processes after VEIN_MINING / HAMMER collect blocks
   • Processes before AUTO_SELL sells items
   • Fortune applies to the raw drops, then they're smelted

Processing Order

Block Break
    ↓
VEIN_MINING / HAMMER (collect blocks)
    ↓
MELT_MINING (smelt drops)
    ↓
AUTO_SELL (sell drops)
    ↓
ABSORPTION (items to inventory)

Tips

• Combine with FORTUNE for maximum ingot output
• Use with VEIN_MINING for efficient ore processing
• Combine with AUTO_SELL to sell ingots automatically
• Remember: Silk Touch prevents the effect (no drops to smelt)
• Works on any block with a furnace recipe (sand→glass, etc.)
