SimpleKiln
SimpleKiln introduces a Kiln block that smelts ceramics and stones at a speed between a standard furnace and a Blast Furnace or Smoker.
What it does
The Kiln is the only feature the mod adds. It behaves the same way as a Blast Furnace or Smoker when smelting the items and blocks those machines accept, and it works faster than a standard furnace. The Kiln is crafted from a Blackstone Slab, which the player obtains after entering the Nether, so the standard furnace stays useful through the early and middle game, while the Kiln offers a quicker route for ceramics and stones later on. Some recipes are left out where they would duplicate other variants, such as stone bricks and smooth quartz.
The mod is meant for singleplayer worlds, multiplayer servers and modpacks that want a light vanilla-style addition. It contains no extra decoration, items or tools beyond the block and its recipes, and the feature list is kept short on purpose. It requires Fabric API. SimpleKiln is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across 11 release versions covering 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
