Reinforced furnaces
by Seth_YT3895
Reinforced Furnaces adds upgraded furnace blocks that smelt without fuel, so a player can place one, load items and let it cook without refilling coal.
What it does
Reinforced furnaces are placed like vanilla furnaces but do not take fuel. A player activates the fuel-free mode by using flint and steel on the front face of a furnace, with lava flowing beneath it. Once active, the furnace cooks whatever items are put into it, and the mode removes the routine of feeding coal or building large fuel farms to smelt a few stacks of ore.
The mod uses a custom furnace screen styled after the vanilla one, and its smelting is described as faster and smoother. It fits survival bases where furnaces run continuously. Reinforced Furnaces runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest build, and the mod depends on Fabric API.
Key features
Fuel-free smelting
Activated furnaces smelt without coal or other fuel, so the player keeps their supply for other uses.
Multiple furnace tiers
Several reinforced furnace blocks smelt multiple slots at once, with faster cooking than the vanilla furnace.
Custom furnace screen
A furnace interface in a vanilla-inspired style lays out the input, fuel and output slots in the familiar way.
Fits vanilla survival
The blocks and their screen follow the look and pace of the base game, so they sit alongside existing furnaces.
