How to View Smelting Outcomes, Fuel Times, and Brewing Recipes

Beyond crafting tables, the Vintage Catalog Index Mod natively tracks furnace mechanics and brewing stand combinations so you do not have to guess potion ingredients or fuel efficiency.

Checking Furnace Smelting and Fuel Burn Times

1. Open your inventory and find the raw item, food, or ore you want to cook, or the finished product you want to obtain.

2. Hover over the finished product and press R to see what needs to be smelted in a furnace to create it.

3. Hover over a raw material and press U to see its cooking outcome when placed in a furnace.

4. To check fuel efficiency, hover over any fuel item and press U. The recipe viewer will display detailed burn times for that fuel.

Checking Brewing Stand Recipes

1. Search for a potion in the bottom search bar or locate a brewing ingredient.

2. Hover over a finished potion (such as a Potion of Regeneration) and press R to open the brewing recipe interface, which shows the base potion and exact reagent required.

3. Alternatively, hover over a brewing ingredient and press U to see all the potion combinations it can brew.
