Disposable Furnaces

!A wooden furnace

Tired of waiting for your furnace to smelt while travelling? Why not craft a furnace out of the fuel itself for smelting in a pinch?

This mod adds several quick-smelting furnaces with no fuel slots, but once they are depleted, they burn themselves up and self-destruct.

Cook food while travelling... in a pinch!

!Wooden furnace being crafted and used to smelt food when travelling at night

Smelt iron while mining... in a pinch!

!Coal furnace being used to smelt iron in a cave

Make glass and bricks while building... but be careful!

!Blaze burnace being used to smelt a lot of sand into glass. It burns a villager who steps on it, the tree next to it, and explodes when exhausted

Added furnaces

• Wooden Furnace
• Dried Kelp Furnace
• Charcoal Furnace
• Coal Furnace
• Blaze Furnace
• Lava Furnace (Getting a little silly there)
• Gunpowder Furnace (I know, gunpowder is not a fue- BOOM!)

!allfurnaces

Generally, furnaces made from more expensive fuels will be able to smelt more items more quickly, but are a greater hazard. I don't recommend using any of them in your base.

The crafting recipes should be easy to guess except the following few:

Configuration

You can edit the config in disposablefurnaces.json in the config folder of your minecraft directory if you disagree with the balancing or want to remove the explosions from some of the more powerful furnaces.

{
  "furnaceGriefing": true,         // Set to false to disable explosive hazards. May harm the gameplay balance by reducing risk.
  "numItemsCanSmeltWooden": 8,     // How many items can the Wooden Furnace smelt during its lifetime?
  "smeltDurationSecWooden": 8.0,   // How many seconds is the Wooden Furnace's lifetime?
  "numItemsCanSmeltDriedKelp": 16, // ...
  "smeltDurationSecDriedKelp": 4.0,
  "numItemsCanSmeltCoal": 48,
  "smeltDurationSecCoal": 10.0,
  "numItemsCanSmeltCharcoal": 48,
  "smeltDurationSecCharcoal": 10.0,
  "numItemsCanSmeltBlaze": 64,
  "smeltDurationSecBlaze": 9.0,
  "numItemsCanSmeltLava": 400,
  "smeltDurationSecLava": 20.0,
