TFC Better Blast Furnace
by tadashi_3
Insulating a blast furnace with TFC Better Blast Furnace takes less space than the usual arrangement, since the addon for TerraFirmaCraft works with the chimney directly.
What it does
The addon adds a more compact way to insulate a blast furnace, where insulation is crafted from three Wrought Iron Sheets and applied directly to the chimney. Fire Bricks can be transformed into Insulated Fire Bricks for this purpose. Building is easier because the awkward-shaped sheets that a traditional setup places around the chimney are no longer needed. It requires TerraFirmaCraft and is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the Apache License 2.0 as open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Direct chimney insulation
Three Wrought Iron Sheets are applied straight onto the blast furnace chimney, without a ring of sheets around it.
Insulated Fire Bricks
Fire Bricks can be converted into Insulated Fire Bricks as the insulating material for the furnace.
Simpler build layout
Traditional awkward-shaped blocks that cannot sit near the chimney are replaced by a layout that is easier to place.

How it compares
Create Furnace Lava Adapter is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that runs on client and server, and its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source. WoodenCog is open source under the MIT License and covers the same versions and environment, but it does not target the blast furnace insulation layout described here.
