Superior Smelting

<p align="center">What is Superior Smelting?

</p>

<p align="center">Superior Smelting is an expansion of Minecraft's vanilla smelting mechanics. Ever thought that a golden chestplate smelting down into a single gold nugget was a ripoff? Well, now you get an ingot! Have you ever bulk crafted an inventory full of diamond helmets on accident? Now you can smelt some of those down in the blast furnace to get your diamonds back! Or have you ever wanted to smelt a cobblestone stair into a stone stair? Well now you can do that, too! And, of course, there's built-in compatibility for all your favorite mods!
