Portable Furnace
by AwesomeHippo
Portable Furnace adds a new item, a portable furnace that lets players cook food and smelt ore without placing a real furnace.
What it does
Portable Furnace provides a portable furnace item, so cooking and smelting can happen anywhere and at any time. Players no longer need to build or place a furnace block first. The mod runs on Forge and needs both the client and the server to have it installed. Its files cover game versions 1.12.2 and 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 3.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Portable furnace item
A new item that works as a furnace in the player's inventory, so smelting does not require a placed block.
Cook anywhere
Food and ore can be processed wherever the player stands, without a dedicated furnace nearby.
Backward compatible updates
Versions 2.0 and 3.0 keep compatibility with earlier releases, so existing progress carries over between builds.
Compatibility
