Uranium fuel
by miudeslol
Uranium fuel adds a uranium ore to Forge worlds for 1.20.1, and uranium works as furnace fuel twice as efficiently as coal.
What it does
The ore generates between heights 25 and 40, with more of it found at lower levels. An iron pickaxe or better is needed to collect it. Once collected, uranium can be smelted in a furnace the same way coal is used, and nine uranium fill a crafting table to make a decorative uranium block.
Uranium fuel is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, built as a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The author notes suggest balance changes and say English and Spanish are supported, and the author plans to add more features if there is interest.
Key features
Uranium ore generation
A new ore spawns underground between heights 25 and 40, concentrated toward the lower levels of that band.
Efficient furnace fuel
Uranium burns in a furnace at twice the efficiency of regular coal, giving a stronger smelting fuel.
Decorative uranium block
Nine uranium placed in a crafting table produce a uranium block intended for decoration.
English and Spanish text
The mod's text is available in English and Spanish.

How it compares
Uranium (Lag) is a Fabric and Forge client-side only mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, so it runs without any server install. Uranium fuel instead needs both sides for 1.20.1. Fuel Tool: Customizable Fuels is a Forge mod covering 1.18 – 1.20.2 that works on both client and server, and its MIT License allows it to be used freely, making it a broader fuel option rather than a uranium one.
