Laps' Crucible & Kiln
by lapryo
Laps' Crucible & Kiln adds a smelting block to Fabric worlds, a mid-tier furnace that smelts items faster than the standard furnace, plus an end-game station built to smelt items faster still.
What it does
The mid-tier block fills a gap in the furnace line: it sits between the basic furnace and the blast furnace and smelts items at twice the rate of a normal furnace. Together with the blast furnace and the smoker it completes a trio of fast furnaces, and it also smelts recipes that the blast furnace and the smoker cannot handle.
The Crucible is the end-game block of the mod. It combines the functions of the three furnaces into one station and smelts everything at four times the normal rate. It is meant for late-stage bases where throughput matters more than setup cost. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 26.2, with 1.0.2 as the latest file from 2026-07-26.
Key features
Mid-tier smelting
The mid-tier block smelts at twice the rate of a normal furnace and processes recipes outside the blast furnace and smoker set.
Crucible smelting
The Crucible smelts every recipe at four times the normal furnace rate, working as a single block in place of the three fast furnaces.
Combined furnace trio
The mid-tier block and the Crucible together complete the set of fast furnaces, so the progression runs from furnace to mid-tier block to Crucible.
Crucible recipes
The Crucible is crafted as an end-game block, so it is a late goal rather than an early upgrade.

How it compares
Ember's Kiln is also a Fabric kiln mod, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, so it does not cover 26.2. Smelter The Hedgehog (Fast Furnace/Smelting) is server-side only, carries a custom license that is not open source, and runs on 1.20 – 26.3, so players can join without installing it. Iron Smelters is open source under the MIT License and supports Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, while this mod is limited to Fabric for 26.2.
