Red glass craft
by gloww_ons
Red glass craft lets a red sand furnace smelt red sand into red glass, a recipe that regular sand does not offer.
What it does
Smelting red sand in a furnace produces red glass, while ordinary sand in the same furnace still gives plain glass. Place a red sand furnace, fill it with fuel and add red sand to start the process. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is under All rights reserved.
Key features
Red sand smelting
A red sand furnace turns red sand into red glass when it is fuelled and loaded.
A small logical addition
The recipe fills a gap in vanilla smelting, since regular sand already produces glass and red sand did not.
Resource-saving option
Red glass is made from a material already in the world, so players can craft it without extra items.
