Compressed Furnace
by biorfn
With Compressed Furnace, players get tiered furnace-style machines for smelting, crushing and grinding items in bulk on NeoForge.
What it does
The mod adds furnace factory, blast furnace factory and crusher factory machines that process several items at once in a single block, with vanilla-like behaviour in each. Each machine can be built as a fuel-burning unit or as an energy-driven unit that draws FE, and each tier raises the number of input slots and the transfer speed of the fuel or energy side.
Three tiers are included: Tier 1 Compressed with 2 input slots, Tier 2 Double with 4 and Tier 3 Triple with 6. A new side configuration screen uses colour-coded buttons to set each face of a machine to input, output or fuel. The mod is aimed at modded playthroughs and modpacks that want a Vanilla+ step in processing efficiency, and it is published for NeoForge only.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.10, 1.21.1 and 1.21, and the latest file is 0.2.2-26.1.x for 26.1.2, dated 2026-06-01. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Crusher factory
Grinds ores and other items down into dusts and raw components, useful for building processing chains.
Bulk smelting
The furnace and blast furnace factories smelt items faster, handling several stacks at the same time.
Tiered input slots
Each tier adds input slots, so higher tiers keep more items in process without extra blocks.
Side configuration
Colour-coded buttons let players assign each side of a machine to input, output or fuel.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Modpack processing lines
Pack builders can chain crushing and smelting machines to replace slow single-item furnaces in a factory setup.
Energy-powered builds
Players who avoid burning fuel can use the FE variants and feed them from an existing power network.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge who run modded playthroughs or modpacks and want tiered machines that process several items at once, plus server owners who add it to a shared pack.
How it compares
Create: TFMG - Stellaris Compat is released under the MIT License, is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 and is run on both client and server. Mekanism Stack Processor is also MIT licensed and NeoForge 1.21.1, but it is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Create Furnace Lava Adapter covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is not open source.
