In Minecraft, everything takes time, and the one component that has the most responsibility for the use of time while you are trying to build up your own secure world, is the smelting furnace. If you only had a way to smelt metals faster, you could be so much more productive. The Better Furnaces Mod is a fast solution to this problem.
This mod provides much better smelting performance for your furnaces, and also adds some new types of smelting furnaces. Reducing the time it takes to produce your building blocks increases the amount of construction you can get done per session in Minecraft. It is a foundational mod release that has impact through its performance qualities.
You might think this a boring, and fairly uninteresting mod for you to consider. Sure, there are so many flashier, shiny object mods. But just consider, with this mod in place, building with those mods will happen so much faster. Getting this foundational mod is a key, albeit a single mundane step, towards becoming a wizard of Minecraft.
The furnaces provided with this mod are the Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Extreme Furnaces. It also provides several feature upgrades for your existing furnaces: Ore processing, Advanced Ore Processing, Fuel Efficiency, Advanced Fuel Efficiency, Storage, Auto-Output, and Color Upgrades. Each furnace type if much faster than the original smelting furnace. The Advanced Upgrade features are especially impressive for speeding things up and making much more versatile materials. Most of the special features of this mod are about increasing smelting furnace performance, but there are a couple of special features as well.
Features:
- Creates Iron 1.5 X faster
- Creates Gold 2 X faster
- Creates Diamond 4 X faster
- Extreme Furnace outputs 50 X faster
- Upgrade features to craft storage, auto-outputting, and custom colors
In Short:
It might seem boring to spend time on upgrading something as mundane as your smelting operation. But, once you install this mod, and apply the upgrades, you will feel less frustrated, accomplishing much more, and generally feeling more of your personal creative power in Minecraft. It is a good investment to install this mod.
