Furnace Punching
by LazyKitch
Furnace Punching lets a player left-click the front face of a furnace to pull its items out, a shortcut for taking smelted goods quickly.
What it does
Clicking the front of a furnace with the left mouse button causes the items inside to pop out, so a player can collect smelted results without opening the interface. The effect applies to vanilla furnaces and, when enabled, to furnaces added by other mods.
A configuration file lets server owners toggle punching for vanilla and modded furnaces separately, and turn the custom sound effect on or off. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The author notes that the mod should work in multiplayer, but this has not been tested. The code is covered by the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Quick item extraction
Left-clicking the front face of a furnace makes its items pop out, for faster collection of smelted results.
Punching for modded furnaces
A config option extends the punching behavior to furnaces added by other mods, separate from the vanilla setting.
Per-type toggles
Vanilla and modded furnaces can each be switched on or off in the config, so server owners choose which ones react to punches.
Custom sound effect
A sound plays when items are pulled out, and the config can disable it.

Use cases
Collecting smelted batches
A player running a large smelting setup can empty several furnaces by punching them, instead of opening each one.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who run many furnaces and want a quicker way to collect their output, on Forge or NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.
How it compares
Furnace Click works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.5 – 1.20.4, is server-side only and is open source under The Unlicense, so players can join without installing it. Super Coals is a client and server mod on Forge and NeoForge under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Furnace Punching covers the same punching idea on Forge and NeoForge, and both sides need it.
