SmeltPickup

Your furnace had one job. Now it’s unemployed.

SmeltPickup is a plugin that automatically smelts supported mined blocks and sends the drops straight into the player’s inventory.

No more running back to furnaces.
No more waiting for ores to smelt.
Just mine blocks and get the finished loot instantly.
