Overview
Shift+Click to batch refine — never spam the Refine button again!
Description
Tired of clicking the Refine button hundreds of times just to convert your materials? Smith-Click lets you hold a modifier key and refine in bulk with a single click. No more repetitive clicking — just hold a key and go.
Key Points:
Shift + Click: Refine 5 times with one click
Ctrl + Click: Refine as many times as possible until stamina or materials run out
Refinement Only: Forging and smelting are completely untouched
Save Data: The mod writes no custom data to the save; back up important saves before changing any mod list
Features
- Shift+Click the Refine button to refine 5 times at once
- Ctrl+Click the Refine button to refine until resources run out
- Only affects the Refinement tab — forging and smelting work normally
- Extremely lightweight — single Harmony patch
- Designed to coexist with mods that do not replace the same smithing action
- Runs only when the refine action is used rather than as a continuous background task
- Designed to be added to or removed from existing saves
- No configuration needed — just install and play
- Normal click still works exactly as before
Requirements
- Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord v1.3.14 or higher
- Bannerlord.Harmony (Steam Workshop ID 2859188632 or Nexus equivalent)

Load Order
- Native
- SandBoxCore
- SandBox
- StoryMode (Optional)
- CustomBattle (Optional)
- Bannerlord.Harmony
- SmithClick
- [Your other mods]
- This mod has minimal load order requirements. Just make sure it loads after Bannerlord.Harmony.
Compatibility
- Designed to work with smithing, economy, and UI mods that do not replace CraftingVM.ExecuteMainAction.
- Recipe, XP, stamina, overhaul, and UI mods may still interact if they patch the same refine action.
- Potential conflicts:
- Mods that completely replace the smithing UI
- Mods that also apply a Harmony Prefix to CraftingVM.ExecuteMainAction
Technical Details
Uses a Harmony prefix patch on CraftingVM.ExecuteMainAction. This is a non-intrusive patch that only intercepts clicks when Shift or Ctrl is held. Normal clicks pass through unmodified.
Uninstallation
- Recommended removal steps:
- Save your game
- Disable the mod in the launcher
- Delete the SmithClick folder from your Modules directory (optional)
- The mod documents no persistent save data. Back up important saves before changing any mod list.

FAQ
Q: Will this work on existing saves?
A: It is designed for existing campaigns. Back up important saves before changing any mod list.
Q: Does this affect forging or smelting?
A: No, only the Refinement tab is modified. Forging and smelting work exactly as normal.
Q: I'm holding Shift/Ctrl but nothing happens.
A: Make sure you are on the Refinement tab (not Forging or Smelting) and that the Refine button is enabled — you need enough stamina and materials.
Q: Can I change the batch size from 5?
A: Shift is fixed at 5 and Control refines until resources are exhausted.
Q: Does this work in multiplayer?
A: No, this is a singleplayer-only mod.
Q: Will this break my game?
A: The mod documents no persistent save changes, but compatibility still depends on the game version and other mods that patch the same smithing action.
