FabricServer-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source26.1 – 26.3

What it does

Players can place feathers directly into furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces, where they burn as fuel. No extra recipe or crafting step is needed, so surplus feathers from chickens and other sources can be put to use. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it requires Fabric API on Fabric. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with builds for 26.1 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Feathers as furnace fuel

    Feathers burn in furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces without any extra recipe.

  2. No crafting required

    Players burn feathers directly, with no craft step needed before using them as fuel.

  3. Compatible with vanilla progression

    The fuel addition sits on top of vanilla smelting, so existing progression continues unchanged.
