Tiered Furnaces
by Floris0601
Tiered Furnaces adds kiln and furnace variants that players craft from a base furnace and upgrade through copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite tiers.
What it does
Each tier is made by placing the material of the next tier in the middle of a crafting grid, surrounded by the furnace of the current tier, so the upgrade reads as a recipe in the crafting grid. The base tier is crafted directly from iron. Upgrading copper, iron, gold and diamond tiers is cheaper than crafting each one from scratch, and the corners of the grid are left empty.
Netherite furnaces are upgraded at a smithing table, the same way other netherite gear is upgraded. Some furnace variants use the same recipes as the regular furnace, with cobblestone in the center in place of the furnace. Shift-right-clicking a furnace with the upgrade item in hand upgrades it directly.
The mod needs Structure Pool API to load. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
