Description

Merged Furnaces

Fuse several furnaces into one and turn it into a smelting beast.

Fabric Minecraft 26.1.2 Java 21+ Client + Server

Overview

A Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.1.2 that adds a single block, the Merged Furnace, which evolves through 10 levels. Every level unlocks more slots, more speed, and ultimately better fuel efficiency.

Parallel smelting

Up to 5 items cook at the same time, each with its own independent progress arrow.

Stacked fuel

Up to 5 chained fuel slots that burn one after another. Load a stack in each and forget about refueling for hours.

Level preserved

Break it and place it again - keeps its exact level. No upgrade progress is ever lost.

Visual identity

Each level shifts the stripe color on the block and the item following a "heating up" progression.

Crafting

The base Merged Furnace is crafted with 4 vanilla furnaces in a 2×2 pattern on the crafting table. It starts at level 1.

How to level up

With the Merged Furnace placed in the world, hold a vanilla furnace, blast furnace or smoker in your hand and right-click the block. Each upgrade:

  • Consumes the furnace from your hand (in survival).
  • Plays the anvil sound as upgrade feedback.
  • Bumps the level by 1 (up to 10).
  • Changes the stripe color of the block instantly.
  • Sends a chat message confirming the new level.

Level progression

Upgrades come in two phases. Levels 1-5 multiply speed and add fuel slots. Levels 6-9 add input + output pairs for parallel cooking. Level 10 caps it with a final speed + fuel efficiency bonus.

Level Color Input Fuel Output Speed Efficiency
1 Blue 1 1 1
2 Cyan 1 2 1
3 Green 1 3 1
4 Orange 1 4 1
5 Red 1 5 1
6 White hot 2 5 2
7 Light cyan 3 5 3
8 Magenta 4 5 4
9 Violet 5 5 5
10 Gold 5 5 5 +25%

The interface

The GUI is laid out vertically like a real chimney: fuel burns at the bottom, the item cooks in the middle, and the result rises to the top slot. Slots locked by the current level show a red padlock. Each input has its own progress arrow that fills from bottom to top.

  • Top row: 5 result slots (output).
  • Vertical arrows: per-slot cook progress.
  • Middle row: 5 input slots (items being cooked).
  • Bottom row: 5 fuel slots. The active slot shows an animated flame on top.
  • Top-right corner: "Lv. X / 10" indicator.

Under the hood

Parallel cooking

From level 6 onwards, every input slot processes its smelting recipe independently. Each slot has its own timer, so you can run 5 different recipes at once (iron + gold + food + glass + sand, for example).

Fuel drains proportionally to the number of active items: if 3 items are cooking, burn time decreases by 3 units per tick.

Level 10 efficiency bonus

Level 10 introduces two subtle but stacking benefits:

  • Effective fuel drain per tick is max(1, N-1), where N is items cooking. Cooking 5 items costs you what 4 would.
  • Every fuel piece ignites with a +25% duration bonus.
  • Base smelting time drops to ~33 ticks (20% faster than the level 5 cap).

Level preservation on break

The block is mined with any pickaxe (registered as a pickaxe tool block) at the same speed as a vanilla furnace. On break:

  • Drops the full inventory contents (inputs, fuels and outputs).
  • Drops a Merged Furnace item with its level saved. The item icon already shows the matching stripe color.
  • When placed back, the block immediately appears at its original level - no level 1 flash - because the component is read at placement time.

Technical details

Block & BlockEntity

Block state with facing, lit and furnace_level (1-10) properties. The BlockEntity keeps its level in sync with the state through the server tick.

Custom data component

merged_furnaces:furnace_level (Integer): read by both the item model (via minecraft:select) and getStateForPlacement when placing the block back.

block_entity_data

Same vanilla mechanism shulker boxes use: the dropped item carries a FurnaceLevel tag that is applied to the newly created BlockEntity during placement.

Procedural GUI

The entire panel is drawn with primitives (fill / text on GuiGraphicsExtractor), no PNG background. Flame and arrows rendered pixel by pixel.

Installation

  1. Make sure you have Fabric Loader 0.19.0 or newer for Minecraft 26.1.2.
  2. Install Fabric API 0.149.1+26.1.2 (or a newer compatible release).
  3. Drop merged_furnaces-1.0.0.jar into the mods/ folder on both the client and the server.
  4. Restart and craft a Merged Furnace with the 2×2 recipe.

The mod is client + server: both sides need the JAR. The server handles block logic and smelting; the client renders the GUI, textures and the item model.
