Lava Furnaces

by FsmDev

Lava Furnaces lets furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers smelt with no fuel when a long lava source lies beneath them.

FabricQuiltClient or server, optionalCC-BY-1.0 1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Placing a furnace, blast furnace or smoker over a long lava source lets it smelt without coal or any other fuel. The mod is for players who want lava to power their cooking and smelting setup instead of carrying fuel.

Files exist for Fabric and Quilt on 1.21 and 1.21.1. Only the client needs the mod installed; the server may skip it, so either side can run it on its own. The mod is released under CC-BY-1.0 and is not open source, though its source code is public.

Key features

  1. Fuelless furnaces

    Furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers burn without fuel while they sit over a long lava source.

  2. Three block types

    The fuel-free behavior covers the furnace, blast furnace and smoker, so all three smelting blocks work the same way.

  3. Lava source requirement

    The bonus applies only when a long lava source lies beneath the block, so the lava setup is needed.

Questions

Does Lava Furnaces need to be installed on the server?

No. Installing it on either side is enough, and neither side is required to run it, so it works on a client alone or a server alone.

Which loaders does Lava Furnaces support?

Fabric and Quilt. Both loaders have a 1.0.0 file for 1.21.1, published on 2024-09-22.

What the author says

This mod makes furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers burn without needing fuel as long as they have a lava source beneath them. If installed on server there is no need for it to also be installed client-side.
