FurnaceMk2
by ColinGBos
FurnaceMk2 replaces the plain vanilla furnace with an upgraded version that smelts faster, burns fuel more efficiently and stores experience in a dedicated crystal.
What it does
The upgraded furnace keeps the vanilla smelting flow but raises smelting speed and fuel efficiency, and it converts the experience it produces into a stored reserve. Its design scope is kept narrow on purpose: the mod extends the furnace it is named after and adds little beyond it. Tiered electric variants act as a larger smelter for players who want more throughput than a single block can give, while the base version fills the gap between vanilla furnaces and higher-tech machines from other mods.
Experience is held in an Attuned Crystal placed in the bottom-right slot of the furnace. The crystal is topped up continuously from the furnace, holds up to 10,000 experience, and its pitch changes with how full it is. Requires Fabric API on Fabric and VapourWare on every loader. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. JEI and REI integration is included and uses the vanilla furnace fuel list. The mod is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. The beta channel is in use, so players should back up their worlds before making changes with other mods.
Key features
Faster smelting
The upgraded furnace raises smelting speed compared with the vanilla block it replaces.
Fuel efficiency
Each fuel item lasts longer in the furnace, with waste-free fuel management in the design.
Experience storage
Storing experience works through an Attuned Crystal placed in the bottom-right slot, which gathers the points produced by smelting and keeps a capacity of 10,000.
Crystal controls
Clicking the crystal removes its stored experience, and shift-clicking moves the player's experience into it.
Electric mega-smelter tiers
Electric tiers scale the furnace into a larger smelter for high-volume production.
Tooltips and empty-slot hints
Empty slots show what each area is for, and tooltips add information on hover.

What the author says
This mod is a fairly simple extension of the vanilla furnace. The primary intention is to provide a logical step between vanilla furnaces and whatever tech mod's high tiered electric mega-smelter. Sprinkle in some thoughtful improvements and this furnace can be a staple of anyone's base. The mod intends to stay…
