About this project
What does Productive Metalworks add?
Productive Metalworks brings a powerful and immersive smelting and casting system to Minecraft, allowing players to process ores and craft ingots in a more realistic and efficient way. With this mod, you can construct a multi-block structure known as the Foundry, which acts as a large, industrial smelting furnace capable of handling large quantities of ores at once.
Features:
- Multiblock Construction: Build your own Foundry using various blocks like bricks, tanks, drains and windows to create a fully functional smelting setup.
- Efficient Smelting: The Foundry smelts ores faster than traditional furnaces, allowing you to process multiple types of ores simultaneously and produce more ingots with less fuel.
- Casting: The Foundry features a casting system where you can pour molten metal into casts to create ingots, blocks, or other metal items, adding a new layer of depth to crafting and resource management.
- Customizable Design: The size and layout of the Foundry can be customized, with foundry blocks in all 16 colors to match your base.
Whether you're an industrial enthusiast or just looking for a more efficient way to smelt ores, Productive Metalworks will elevate your Minecraft experience.
Install Dyenamics and Friends for even more foundry colors!
This mod is of course inspired by Tinkers Construct smeltery but does not contain any tools or weapons.
