Set Up a Visible Smelting Operation

Place Your Hollow Workstations

Position your furnace, smoker, or blast furnace blocks where you can see them clearly—perhaps in a central location in your base or along a wall. The mod transforms these standard blocks into 3D hollow versions automatically, so no special placement is needed. They function identically to vanilla workstations.

Load Items and Fuel

Use the standard interface to add raw materials (ores, food, etc.) and fuel to each workstation. The items will appear inside the hollow 3D model immediately, giving you a live view of your smelting setup.

Arrange Multiple Workstations

Create a visually impressive smelting area by placing several furnaces, smokers, and blast furnaces together. Since all interiors are visible, you can watch multiple cooking operations at once. This setup keeps vanilla smelting speeds and recipes unchanged while making your operation look much more dynamic and alive.
