Description

Eternal Furnace

Give Netherrack a new purpose.

Craft Hellfire Netherrack, place it directly beneath a regular Furnace, and the Furnace gains infinite fuel — no coal, charcoal, lava buckets, or other fuel required.

The trade-off is speed: when powered by Hellfire, smelting takes 1.8× longer than normal.

How it works

Combine Flint and Steel + Netherrack to craft Hellfire Netherrack.

Place Hellfire Netherrack directly underneath a regular Furnace and add something to smelt. The fuel slot can remain completely empty.

Normal Furnace Hellfire Furnace
Fuel Consumes normal fuel Infinite
Standard smelting time ~10 seconds ~18 seconds
Fuel slot required Yes No

The slowdown is calculated from the recipe's normal cooking time, so recipes with custom smelting times are supported as well.

Features

  • New block: Hellfire Netherrack
  • Infinite Furnace fuel
  • Balanced by 1.8× longer smelting time
  • Existing normal fuel is allowed to finish burning before Hellfire takes over
  • Fuel stored in the fuel slot is not wasted while Hellfire is active
  • Smelting progress is preserved when switching between normal fuel and Hellfire
  • Removing Hellfire returns the Furnace to normal vanilla behavior
  • Works only with the regular vanilla Furnace
  • Smokers and Blast Furnaces are intentionally unaffected
  • Supports recipes with custom cooking times
  • Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer

Crafting behavior

Hellfire Netherrack is crafted using Netherrack + Flint and Steel.

Minecraft 26.2 / NeoForge — Eternal Furnace 1.1.0 and newer:
Flint and Steel is not consumed. It loses 1 durability per craft and breaks normally when its durability runs out.

Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge — Eternal Furnace 1.0.x:
Flint and Steel is consumed by the recipe.

This difference is intentional: the improved durability behavior was added in Eternal Furnace 1.1.0.
