Better Furnaces Mod Wiki & Guide
Better Furnaces adds a tier of faster, upgradeable furnaces that smelt items more quickly, process ores for bonus output, and can be automated and customized.
Overview
Better Furnaces is a processing-focused mod that expands on Minecraft's single vanilla furnace by adding a progression of increasingly powerful furnaces. Each tier smelts faster than the last, letting players move from modest speed boosts to extremely rapid bulk smelting as they gather better materials.
Beyond raw speed, the mod introduces an upgrade system. Furnaces can be enhanced with upgrade items that improve fuel efficiency, increase ore output, add extra slots, enable liquid fuel, automate input and output with adjacent inventories, and even recolor the furnace. These features make Better Furnaces useful both for early-game convenience and for fully automated late-game processing lines.
The sections below cover the furnace tiers and their relative speeds, and the complete upgrade system.
