Overview

The Solar Cooker Mod provides a sustainable alternative to the standard furnace and smoker. By harnessing the power of the sun, players can cook items without consuming any fuel resources. While the base cooking speed is slower than a vanilla furnace, the system can be upgraded with reflectors to match or exceed standard cooking speeds.
