About this project
What does Smeltwise add?
Faster furnaces for Fabric 26.3: copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite, each one quicker than the last.
What it does
- Five upgraded furnaces, each a step faster than the one before:
| Furnace | Speed | One item takes |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Furnace | 2x | 5 seconds |
| Iron Furnace | 3x | 3.3 seconds |
| Gold Furnace | 4x | 2.5 seconds |
| Diamond Furnace | 6x | 1.7 seconds |
| Netherite Furnace | 8x | 1.25 seconds |
- Fuel lasts just as many items: one coal still smelts eight, only sooner.
- Every furnace is a vanilla furnace inside: same menu, recipe book, experience, hopper input and output, comparators and smelting recipes, modded ones included. Nothing new to learn.
- Upgrade step by step: surround a furnace with eight copper ingots, that with eight iron ingots, that with eight gold ingots, then four diamonds and four glass, and finally add a netherite ingot.
- The Netherite Furnace survives lava and fire as an item, like other netherite gear.
- A renamed furnace keeps its name when you pick it up.
- Lit furnaces glow and throw flames and smoke like the vanilla one.
Needs
- Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader, Fabric API
- Installed on both the client and the server (it adds new blocks)
