📋 About This Mod
# Better Faster Furnaces (BFF) The Blast Furnace and Smoker have a lot of potential, but they've never quite reached it, and its still easier and usually more beneficial to just use the good ol' furnace. This datapack aims to give the furnace family a sense of "progression", making the Campfire, Blast Furnace, and Smoker have more purpose and functionality. It also adds some QOL/not-quite-vanilla recipes that I thought would be fun, but hopefully don't break the game. I hope you enjoy! ## Furnace - removes all food recipes, making them exclusive to campfires and smokers. - removes the recipe to smelt ancient debris into netherite scrap. - adds a recipe to smelt rotten flesh into leather. - exclusively retains the ability to smelt wood into charcoal. <details> <summary>Spoiler</summary> - adds a recipe to smelt poisionous potatoes... </details> ## Smoker - adds a recipe to smelt rotten flesh into leather. ## Blast Furnace - adds every block recipe (glass, glazed terracotta, etc.) originally exclusive to the furnace. - adds most item recipes (bricks, green dye, etc.) originally exclusive to the furnace, excluding charcoal. - changes the output for smelting iron, gold, and copper armor and tools from a nugget to an ingot. - adds the recipes to smelt raw ore blocks into their respective solid ore blocks for a slight increase in efficiency. <details> <summary>Spoiler</summary> - adds a recipe to smelt soul sand... </details>
