Scorched Smelters

Furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces now accumulate heat while smelting — glowing ever redder until they finally explode. Keep them cool with water, ice or snow!

Description

Scorched Smelters

Smelters were never meant to run forever. In this mod, furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces build up temperature while they smelt — the longer they burn without a break, the redder and brighter they glow... until they blow.

How it works

  • Temperature (0–100%) — Every smelter has an internal temperature that rises while it is actively smelting and falls when it stops. Heat is cumulative: an interrupted session cools down but never resets, so a smelter that runs again picks up where it left off. The block's appearance smoothly turns red hot as the temperature climbs.
  • Overheating (100–120%) — Keep feeding it and the temperature pushes past 100%. From 105% the chance of a catastrophic explosion grows every moment (1% → 99%), and at 120% the smelter is guaranteed to blow, dropping its contents and detonating like TNT.
  • Dangerous to touch — A hot smelter burns anything standing on or inside it, like a magma block — and at 100% it hurts like lava.
  • Cool it down — An idle smelter cools on its own. Placing water, ice or snow next to it cools it dramatically faster, even while it is still burning — but a hot smelter will slowly melt adjacent ice, so watch your coolant supply!

Per-smelter behavior (defaults)

Smelter Starts glowing Reaches 100% Explosion
Furnace after 2 items after 200 items 3 TNT
Smoker after 2 items after 100 items 1 TNT
Blast Furnace after 1 item after 200 items 5 TNT

Extras

  • Fully configurable — every number above lives in config/scorched-smelters.json, created automatically on first run.
  • Jade support — look at a smelter with Jade installed to see its exact temperature.
  • Vanilla-friendly — recipes, fuel, UIs and hoppers all work exactly as before; explosions follow normal TNT rules.

Requirements

  • Fabric Loader + Fabric API
  • Works on dedicated servers and in singleplayer; the mod is needed on both sides for the smooth glow effect (Jade integration is optional).
