Variant Furnaces

by AlgorithmBruh

Variant Furnaces adds iron, diamond and netherite furnaces for Fabric, meant to replace large furnace arrays with fewer blocks.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.20 – 1.20.1

What it does

Each furnace tier processes items at a higher rate than the one before, so a single iron, diamond or netherite furnace can take over work that once needed a row of vanilla furnaces. Variant furnaces use the standard furnace interface, so they fit existing setups without extra configuration. Crafting follows the equipment progression of vanilla, from iron to diamond to netherite. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Higher-throughput furnaces

    Iron, diamond and netherite furnaces each smelt faster than the tier below them.

  2. Standard furnace interface

    The variant furnaces accept the same inputs and open the same screen as vanilla furnaces.

  3. Vanilla-style crafting

    Each tier is crafted from materials that follow the vanilla equipment path, from iron through diamond to netherite.
