Block Furnace
by Dax226
Block Furnace is a Fabric furnace variant for smelting building blocks faster than a normal furnace.
What it does
It is a lightweight Fabric mod, and the recipes it handles are the block-related ones, so stone, clay and similar blocks go through it while ordinary smelting is left to the vanilla furnace. Food and raw ores cannot be smelted in it.
The mod works with hoppers for automated feeding and supports the Recipe Book. Compatibility with JEI is included. Files are available for Creative Mode as well. Installation needs only Fabric, and because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Builds cover 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file targets 26.3 with a publication date of 2026-10-09, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Faster block smelting
The furnace is tuned for building blocks, so those recipes finish faster than in a normal furnace.
Block-only recipes
Only block-related recipes are handled, while food and raw ores are excluded from the furnace.
Hopper support
Hoppers can feed and empty the furnace, so smelting can be automated with item transport.
Recipe Book and JEI
The recipe book lists the furnace recipes, and JEI compatibility lets players look up smelting results.

Use cases
Building projects
Players who gather large amounts of stone or clay for construction can smelt them in less time than with a standard furnace.
Automated smelting lines
A hopper chain can supply the furnace with blocks and collect the results, which suits a storage or farm setup.
Who it’s for: Players who build with large volumes of smelted blocks, and server owners who want faster block processing with hoppers in place.
