Chest Furnace

by lku

Chest Furnace is a Forge storage block that combines a chest and a furnace into one multipurpose block.

ForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universal1.20 – 1.21.11

What it does

A single block holds storage and smelts items in place of a separate chest and furnace. Its furnace side smelts copper and iron quickly, and it needs coal, charcoal or another fuel to run. The block is crafted from one chest, four blast furnaces and four amethyst shards. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Builds are published for Forge only, covering 1.20 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Chest and furnace in one block

    One block stores items and smelts them, so a separate chest and furnace are not needed for a small setup.

  2. Fast copper and iron smelting

    The furnace side smelts copper and iron faster than a standard furnace, using coal or charcoal as fuel.

  3. Crafted from common materials

    The block is made from a chest, four blast furnaces and four amethyst shards, so it fits into existing progression.
