Hay Fuel
by _ghost_mjjn_
Hay Fuel makes hay bale blocks work as furnace fuel, and adds a compressed hay item as a second fuel form for players who farm wheat.
What it does
Vanilla hay blocks carry a flammable tag but do not burn in furnaces, so they never work as fuel. This NeoForge mod corrects that, letting hay blocks serve as fuel. A compressed hay item is also added as a denser fuel that burns longer per unit.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Hay blocks burn
Hay blocks are accepted as furnace fuel, so a farm's surplus can be turned into heat without extra mining.
Compressed hay item
A compressed form of hay gives a denser fuel option that lasts longer in a furnace than a single bale.
Renewable farm fuel
Wheat farms become a steady fuel source, offering an alternative to coal for players who run out of it.

What the author says
A hay block has always been useless as fuel despite being flammable. This mod fixes that — it lets you burn hay blocks in furnaces, and adds a compressed version that acts as a proper coal alternative, giving players a renewable, farm-based fuel source.
