Fuel Goes Here

by LobsterJonn

Fuel Goes Here changes how shift clicking coal and charcoal sorts into a furnace, so fuel lands in the fuel slot before the input slot.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

When a smelting recipe accepts a fuel such as coal as an ingredient, shift clicking a stack of it normally fills the input slot. This mod reverses that order: the fuel slot fills first, and only then the input slot. By default it covers coal and charcoal, and more fuels can be added through an item tag. Both the server and every player need the mod, which is published for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 range, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Fuel-first shift clicking

    Shift clicking a stack of fuel places it in the fuel slot before the input slot, even when a recipe uses it as an ingredient.

  2. Default fuel list

    Coal and charcoal are covered out of the box, with no configuration needed to start using the change.

  3. Extendable through item tags

    Other fuels can be added by placing them in the item tag the mod reads, so modded fuels can follow the same behavior.

What the author says

If a recipe is added that uses a fuel like coal as an ingredient in a furnace, shift clicking a stack of coal will put it in the input slot instead of the fuel slot. This mod changes the behavior so the fuel slot is always filled first before filling the input slot.
