Configurable Furnace Burn Time
by Serilum
With Configurable Furnace Burn Time, a server owner can scale how long every fuel item burns in furnaces across the world through a single config value.
What it does
The burnTimeModifier setting multiplies the burn time of all fuel. The default is 1.0, and the allowed range runs between 0.0 and 1000.0. A value of 0.5 makes fuel burn half as long, while 2.0 doubles the burn time, so a stick that normally lasts 100 ticks (5 seconds) lasts 200 ticks (10 seconds). The change applies to the game's furnace fuel values globally rather than to one block or recipe.
The mod is typically used to raise difficulty by making fuel less grindy to gather, or to ease a survival world by shortening burn times. It is installed on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Collective is required on every loader it supports. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 1.16.5 – 26.3 and the latest file for 26.3, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Global burn time scaling
One modifier applies to every fuel item in furnaces, so no per-item edits are needed.
Adjustable modifier range
The modifier accepts any value in its range, letting owners fine-tune fuel length in small steps.
Default values unchanged
With the modifier at 1.0, fuel burn times stay at their vanilla lengths until the owner changes them.

Use cases
Raising survival difficulty
Setting the modifier below 1.0 makes each piece of fuel last less time, so players gather and burn more of it.
Easing fuel collection
Setting the modifier above 1.0 lengthens burn times, which reduces how often players must refuel furnaces.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack builders who want to change furnace fuel length for a whole world without editing individual items or recipes.
How it compares
Configured Burn Time is an open source mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with files for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, and it runs on client and server. Configurable Furnace Burn Time instead covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and is not open source. Smelting Sand in Blast Furnace is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it adds a different smelting behavior rather than scaling fuel burn.
