Advanced Furnace
by andsssf
Advanced Furnace is a Fabric utility that makes furnaces smelt twice as fast and burn fuel at a quarter of the usual rate.
What it does
Advanced Furnace changes how furnace blocks work during smelting. Four separate smelting jobs run at once in every furnace, and each job finishes twice as fast as it would in a vanilla furnace. Fuel loss runs at four times the vanilla rate, so fuel is consumed faster while a furnace is lit, and the design aims at a practical, convenient furnace for players who smelt in bulk.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it for the behavior to match on every connection. It is built for Fabric only and has files for eight game versions, 1.16.2 – 1.19, with 1.4.0 for 1.19 as the latest release from June 2022. The code is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Twice smelting speed
Each smelting process finishes in half the vanilla time, so ores and food are ready sooner.
Four independent processes
A single furnace runs four smelting processes in parallel, each tracked separately.
Four times fuel loss
Fuel burns at four times the vanilla rate while a furnace is working.
Furnace screen layout
The furnace interface shows the four processes as separate inputs and outputs, so progress can be read at a glance.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Bulk smelting
Players who process large stacks of ore or food use the parallel processes to clear batches faster.
Fuel planning
Because fuel loss is four times higher, players who run many furnaces need a larger fuel supply.
Who it’s for: Players who smelt large amounts of ore, food or other materials, and server owners who want faster furnaces on a Fabric server. Both sides need the mod installed.
How it compares
Fabric Advanced Shift is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, published for 1.16.5 – 1.17.1, so it changes nothing on a server. Ender Smelting is a client and server Fabric mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, published for 1.20.1, and it is open source. Advanced Furnace covers 1.16.2 – 1.19 and needs the server as well as the clients.
