Burning Furnace
by Eruannie_9
Burning Furnace is a Forge mod that changes how players interact with lit furnace, smoker and blast furnace blocks, and requires Geckolib.
What it does
Lit furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces gain new interactions. Touching a lit block burns the player, so the mod is built around caution in the early stages. Modded blocks are included, and several vanilla behaviors are tweaked or disabled. Items dropped in front of a lit furnace are burned into new creations.
A Cooking Pan adds a layer of cooking for vanilla food: placing it over a lit furnace block lets players cook raw food into a half-cooked meal. Turning on the Custom smelting recipes option in the config swaps out the default recipes for raw food, making food preparation more challenging. Geckolib is required, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Client and server: the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 1.16, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, and the latest Forge file is 3.7 for 1.19.4, published 2023-12-14. The mod was first published on 2023-06-09.
