This would be a simple feature that could be used to balance SMP. This ability basically allows a player to take refined ore or metal and resmelt it over and over again to make it stronger. This would allow people to strengthen their defenses when each smelt increases the durability of the block. Of course it wouldn't be an infinite amount of resmelting allowed. Maybe several levels of quality and a nice type of metal for when a block is smelted to maximum capacity.
Great, and when the block reaches the max level, it should sparkle when you get near it and when it is in your inventory. And maybe it would take twice as long every time you try to upgrade it. So 1st upgrade = 20 seconds, 2nd Upgrade = 40 seconds, 3rd Upgrade = 80 seconds (Possible 4th and 5th levels, just double 3rd for 4th time and double 4th for 5th time. Meaning, 4th = 160 seconds = 2 Coal, and 5th = 320 seconds = 4 Coal.). Then you would need a crap tonne of coal to make a lot of them, because 3rd upgrade metal would take 1 coal per metal.
So like,
Ore+Heat = Ingot; Health 1
Craft 9 Ingots into a Cube, and Forge it into a Refined Ingot(Health 5), of which you gain four Pieces, Combine another 9 of these into a RI Cube,
and then into Titanium or something.(10 Health)
Multiple metal types can be forged into Alloys.
nNa: I'm pretty sure it would be really annoying in the middle of the night when you are walking around your courtyard in the castle and an army of skeletons shoots arrows over the wall.
so can i smelt my obsidian walls to make them stronger? if not, really we the whole iron plate block reinforcement idea is a way better alternative.

Matt, seriously, stop trolling. So can you please shut the **** up and go troll the infdev forums about how much you want to get 10 bucks from your hobo house?

Yeah, this is basically the idea. It would just allow for an exponential amount of blocks to be used as the player desires more and more durable structures *mostly in MP*
I like reinforcement better myself but any way of easily making walls stronger is good in my book. For SMP to work the walls really have to be harder to penetrate and this would be a decent way of accomplishing that goal.
it takes much more time and is therefore more well-earned.
Plus, using Iron as an example, you'd have to make iron without resmelting a bit weaker than it already is, and have the highest possible re-smelt strength to be a bit stronger than it already is, which is like, the difference between stone and diamond. so, what's the point even? just ruins the entire mining experience of the game. I'd just go mine a bunch of easy to mine iron and never even look for diamond, because I could pretty much reach the strength of regular diamond(Which can't be smelted, by the way. hence the lack of furnace association) by resmelting iron a few times.

I hate your suggestion it is poison.
You assume too much and explain too little, I don't think every material should be able to be improved in this way.

Ok then. Name something better than obsidian that you can build your base.
...
Do you realize how much iron you would need? It would be freaking hard to get a single block of maxed out iron because you need a lot of coal too. Besides, what retard creates a diamond wall? All you need is iron to mine through it. Diamond is a horrible wall material.
I support. IF you only get iron ingots (or whatever the base was) when you re-mine. And it can apply to other materials like:
obsidian
stone (you can smelt stone)
sand (bulletproof glass FTW!)
water (jk)
gold
diamond

It's called mining for better resources.
