Problem description

My cat wandered into the smeltery because it likes to climb, and it died. This made me extremely sad.

Suggested solution

The smeltery should not kill tamed mobs. If at all possible, it should prevent them from climbing into it at all.

Alternatives considered

I have put a glass lid on my smeltery for the time being. I don't know if this will prevent the issue, as cats teleport to you when they're too far away from you.

Additional context

Fortunately my modpack has the Save Your Pets mod installed, so I was able to revive my cat with a bandage.

No, I am not going to make the smeltery special case tamed mobs. Yes, it sucks when your mob dies there, but the same thing happens when you have a cactus farm or a lava moat. Tamable mobs should not be immune to something just because their AI is dumb. (honestly, the whole teleporting thing is a poor fix to their AI not being smart enough to find you)

I'll see what I can do about telling mobs to avoid walking there, but you should really treat a smeltery as you would lava or cactus when it comes to pets, if you have them following you near it, odds are it may kill them.

Pushed a commit that will tell pathfinders active smelteries are fire. Hopefully that prevents pets from walking in. If not, they would walk into fire.

Thank you 🙏 Is that change likely to make it into a build for 1.16?

It will likely be in the last 1.16 build
