Disposable Furnaces
by jiink
Disposable Furnaces adds a set of Fabric furnaces that burn through their own fuel and then destroy themselves once the fuel runs out.
What it does
The mod replaces the usual idea of a furnace with several variants, including wooden, dried kelp, charcoal, coal, blaze, lava and gunpowder furnaces. Each one smelts faster or uses a more costly fuel than the last, and the stronger models carry a bigger risk, since some of them explode when they are spent. Recipes for the furnaces can mostly be worked out without a guide, with only a few exceptions that need looking up.
Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are both required, so both have to sit in the mods folder next to Disposable Furnaces. Balance settings live in the disposablefurnaces.json file inside the config folder of the Minecraft directory, and the author suggests editing it for anyone who wants different numbers than the defaults. The mod is published for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Quick-smelting furnaces
Several furnace types smelt items faster than a standard furnace, trading speed for a shorter working life.
Self-destructing fuel slots
When the fuel in a quick-smelting furnace is depleted, the furnace burns itself up instead of staying in place.
Fuel tiers
More expensive fuels let a furnace smelt more items more quickly, with blaze, lava and gunpowder at the top of the list.
Configurable balance
The disposablefurnaces.json file controls how the furnaces behave, so the balance can be changed without editing code.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want furnaces that burn out, and server owners who want to tune the balance through the config file. The mod runs only on Fabric, so Forge and NeoForge players need another option.

What the author says
Tired of waiting for your furnace to smelt while travelling? Why not craft a furnace out of the fuel itself for smelting in a pinch? This mod adds several quick-smelting furnaces with no fuel slots, but once they are depleted, they burn themselves up and self-destruct.
