Notes

• If cast is omitted, the table must be empty for the recipe to trigger
• cast supports item, tag, and any other standard ingredient formats
• cast_consumed: true destroys the cast after crafting — useful for one-time molds
• cooling_time is measured in ticks (20 = 1 second)
• The faucet must be attached to a Smeltery or Melter tank
