Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Fast Smelt in my world?
Fast Smelt is a data pack, so it goes in the datapacks folder of the world you want to use it in. Load the world, or run /reload if it is already open. After that, every furnace, blast furnace, smoker and campfire in that world cooks at the new speed.
Minecraft says the data pack is incompatible, is it broken?
No. The game may show an incompatible warning when you load the pack, but it still works fine. Confirm the warning and continue into the world, then test it by smelting something.
How fast does Fast Smelt actually cook things?
Every smeltable item finishes in one game tick, so items come out of the output slot almost as soon as they go in.
Does it work on smokers, blast furnaces and campfires or just the normal furnace?
It works on all four: regular furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers and campfires. All of them use the same one-tick cook time.
