How it Works

Every 20 ticks (1 second):
  1. Smeltery scans its interior for living entities
  2. Entities with a matching recipe receive damage
  3. fluid is added to the smeltery tank
  4. Entities without a recipe receive damage + produce lava (fallback)

Immune entities: Players in Creative mode and entities with the Fire Resistance effect are not affected.

Examples

Blaze → Molten Blaze

{
  "type": "hephaestus:entity_melting",
  "entity": "minecraft:blaze",
  "result_id": "hephaestus:molten_blaze",
  "result_amount": 250,
  "damage": 2
}

Magma Cube → Lava

{
  "type": "hephaestus:entity_melting",
  "entity": "minecraft:magma_cube",
  "result_id": "minecraft:lava",
  "result_amount": 100,
  "damage": 2
}

Custom mod entity — heavy damage

{
  "type": "hephaestus:entity_melting",
  "entity": "yourmod:fire_elemental",
  "result_id": "yourmod:molten_essence",
  "result_amount": 500,
  "damage": 4
}

---

Notes

• Fluid is added per hit, not per kill
• damage: 2 = 1 heart. damage: 20 = 10 hearts (one-shot most mobs)
• Entities without a recipe still take damage: 2 and produce lava as fallback
• Fire-immune mobs receive magic damage instead of fire damage
• Requires the smeltery to have fuel available (lava or other fuel fluid)
