More Vanilla Fuel
by Krepek
More Vanilla Fuel lets players burn common vanilla block items, such as activator rails and beds, as furnace fuel on servers that run it.
What it does
The mod expands the set of items that count as fuel in the vanilla game. Blocks and items that were previously unusable in furnaces, smokers and similar machines can now be burned, using the vanilla block items already in the game. Entries include activator rails, armor stands, azalea blocks, dyed beds, book and quill items, carrot sticks and chests with minecarts.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Fabric and Quilt builds need Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) on Quilt. Forge builds are also published. Files cover 1.19.4 – 1.21.11 across 20 release versions, and the code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain.
Key features
Vanilla block items as fuel

Beds, books and carrot sticks
Dyed beds, book and quill items and carrot sticks can be burned as fuel in vanilla machines.

How it compares
Configured Burn Time is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, runs on both client and server, and covers 1.19.2 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge and Quilt. InfiniteFuel is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for Fabric only on 1.20.3 – 1.20.4. Where More Vanilla Fuel adds vanilla blocks as fuel, these alternatives change burn times or the fuel list through configuration.
