Extended Blast Furnace (& Smoker) Recipes adds smelting recipes that only blast furnaces and smokers can process, for stone and sandstone blocks that vanilla furnaces handle.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalThe UnlicenseOpen source1.20 – 1.21.11

What it does

Plain furnaces keep their vanilla recipes, while the blast furnace and smoker gain extra entries for several stone and sandstone variants. Each recipe is defined so that these blocks can be processed in the faster appliances without changing what a plain furnace produces.

Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. It is built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build is also published. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.11 across 10 release versions, and the latest file for every loader is v1.2.0+mod for 1.21.4, dated 2025-01-27.

The Unlicense applies, so the mod is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The first release appeared on 2023-06-20 and the most recent update on 2026-03-04.

Key features

Blast furnace recipes
Stone and sandstone blocks gain smelting entries that only a blast furnace can run.
Smoker recipes
The smoker receives the same extra entries, so the block set works in both appliances.
Plain furnace unchanged
The standard furnace keeps its vanilla recipes, so existing smelting behavior stays the same.
Six block conversions
Variants such as smooth quartz and smooth stone are covered, alongside the other stone and sandstone blocks.

How it compares

Full comparison

Better Stoneworking adds a broader set of stone-smelting recipes, runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3, and is not open source under its Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license. Smelt All Stone Blocks in Blast Furnaces covers blast furnace stone recipes on the same four loaders for 1.16 – 26.2 and is open source under the MIT License. Both work on either side, and neither needs it installed on a player's client.
