Smelting Sand in Blast Furnace

by MarsThePlanet

Sand smelting in a blast furnace is what Smelting Sand in Blast Furnace adds, so sand can be turned into glass in that block.

What it does

Smelting Sand in Blast Furnace lets the blast furnace accept sand and produce glass, which the vanilla game limits to the regular furnace. The change follows how blast furnaces are used in practice, where melting sand into glass fits the block's purpose. The mod runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. It requires Deimos, and files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across game versions 1.16.5 – 26.2, with the latest builds targeting 26.2.

Key features

  1. Sand in the blast furnace

    The blast furnace accepts sand as an ingredient and smelts it into glass.

  2. Double speed

    Sand smelts at twice the speed of the regular furnace, reducing the wait for glass.

  3. Sand and glass list

    A recipe list covers the sand and glass blocks that the blast furnace handles.

Blast Furnaces are in real-world used to melt sand into glass so it would make sense if it was the same in Minecraft. You can configure this mod directly in-game or edit the JSON file…
