Better Fuels
by Comodo811
Better Fuels, a Babric and Fabric mod, adds more items that furnaces accept as fuel, including a lava bucket that is no longer consumed.
What it does
Players who smelt in the game can burn a wider set of materials, including wooden tools, wool, jukeboxes, note blocks, crafting tables, chests and bookshelves, along with several other wooden items. The additions follow the fuel behavior of later Minecraft versions. Lava bucket fuel returns the bucket instead of consuming it. The mod requires StationAPI and runs on client and server, so both the server and each player need it. It is open source under the MIT License and was published on 2025-12-18.
