Fuel Canister

by 456Xander

Fuel Canister adds a single item that holds stored fuel and lets a player refuel a furnace from it by right-clicking.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.15 – 1.21.8

What it does

A canister is loaded with burnable items, and each one holds a supply of fuel that is drawn out one unit at a time. Right-clicking the canister takes fuel from the inventory, so refuelling does not require opening a separate interface.

Settings are handled through the Forge config system in TOML files, which document three options. One option, autoFuels, sets which items are used for right-click refuelling. Another controls the whitelist of items the canister accepts, and entries can be an item ID or a JSON ingredient of the kind used in recipes, with quotes escaped by a backslash.

Fuel Canister is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 30 release versions, 1.15 – 1.21.8, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Canister filled two ways

    The canister can be filled by placing fuel into it directly or by combining it with burnable fuel in the crafting grid.

  2. Right-click refuelling

    Right-clicking the canister takes fuel from the inventory, so a furnace can be topped up without opening a separate interface.

  3. Whitelisted fuel only

    Only items on the configured whitelist are consumed, and the list can use item IDs or JSON ingredients.

  4. Creative-only canister item

    The creative canister item is only obtained from the creative tab, and it acts as an infinite fuel source.

What the author says

The Fuel Canister mod adds one Item: the FuelCanister. It can be filled with different kinds of Fuel and then be used in a Furnace, where it burns one item at a time for maximum smelting efficiency.
