Realistic Furnace

by Fire_I3laze

Realistic Furnace turns smelting into a multiblock process that players build, fuel and manage with a heat system, and it is available for Forge only.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Players assemble the furnace as a multiblock structure, and its smelting speed depends on the heat it reaches. Higher heat shortens the smelting process. Each item has a heat requirement that can be checked in JEI, and an item that is smelted without enough heat is lost and returns an unexpected product. Heat thresholds can lock items behind specific fuels, and the temperature display can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit in the configs.

The recipes and fuels are customizable, including recipes for modded items, and an option can add an overheated outcome for each processed item. Players can also build their own multiblock structure, with a block palette that can be scanned, saved and selected in the game. Commands are available for players who want to adjust the setup. Because the default structure does not fit diagonal walls, a tutorial covers a fix for modded walls, and the wiki explains the fuel setup in detail.

The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is published for Forge and its files target 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.1.3-1.20.1 as the latest file for 1.20.1. Players who use the Furnace Multiblock need JEI for the heat display; the environment is client and server, so both sides run it.

Key features

  1. Heat-based smelting speed

    Higher heat increases how fast the smelting process runs, so the furnace rewards careful fuel management.

  2. Per-item heat requirements

    Each smelted item has its own heat requirement, which can be checked in JEI before a process starts.

  3. Customizable fuels and recipes

    Fuels can be edited in fuels.json, and recipes can be set for modded items, with an optional overheated outcome.

  4. Custom multiblock structures

    Players can build their own multiblock structure with a scannable, saveable block palette.

Questions

Does Realistic Furnace need JEI?

JEI is needed for the heat display, since it shows the heat requirement of each item. The mod works on Forge with the multiblock as described in the tutorial.

Do both the server and players need the mod?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

What happens when an item overheats?

An item that is smelted without enough heat is lost and turns into an unexpected product. An optional overheated outcome can be set for each processed item in the configs.
