Melter Block

(This mod is a fork of the mod 'melter' - the impetus for it's initial creation was to introduce compatibility with the newest versions of the 'create' mod 0.5.1.+)

A simple melter block that turn blocks into liquid.

Wish there was an easier way to get your lava rather than scooping buckets and trudging through the snow for 5 miles before breakfast?  Are you an older MC user who misses the cobble to lava cauldrons of old days of yore?  The Melter may be your favorite new machine block!

Default recipes

  • Cobblestone >>> Lava
  • Snow >>> Water
  • Ice >>> Water
  • Honey Block >>> Honey (If mod 'Productive Bees' is loaded)

Melter Showcase

To place blocks into the Melter drop them in, or push them in using pipes from a storage location.  Holding blocks in hand to right-click-mouse insert will not work.  Only blocks with recipes can be dropped-in / inserted.

If the mod 'Create' is included then blaze burners will be available as a possible heat source.

Heat sources + Heat level

  • Torch - 1
  • Campfire - 2
  • Soul Campfire - 2
  • Lava - 3
  • Blaze burner - 5 (active), 1 (fading), 0 (inactive), 8 (superheated)

Adding additional recipes


Datapack JSON example for adding melting recipes:

example - place in datapack folder structure like so:

data\melter\recipes\melting\cobble_melting.json

{ "type": "melter:melting", "input": { "tag": "forge:cobblestone", "count": 1 }, "output": { "fluid": "minecraft:lava", "amount": 250 }, "processingTime": 500 }

KubeJS Integration (1.18.2 version only)

Place lines like example below in any *.js script files located in the kubejs\server_scripts\ folder location - that's it!

  • example generic format
  • example recipe outputting 1000mb water fluid per minecraft:ice item being melted
  • example recipe outputting 250mb lava fluid per item tagged as forge:cobblestone being melted

melterMelting(OUTPUT_FLUID,INPUT_BLOCK).processingTime(INT); event.recipes.melterMelting(Fluid.of('minecraft:water', 1000),"minecraft:ice").processingTime(200); event.recipes.melterMelting(Fluid.of('minecraft:lava', 250),"#forge:cobblestone").processingTime(1000);

Keep in mind that the above KubeJS examples add recipes, not replace existing. If you'd like to replace an existing recipe such as the default cobble_melting.json recipe found in the mod /data folder - do the following line first to remove the recipe, and then add your new recipe using the examples above.

event.remove({id: 'melter:melting/cobble_melting'});
