Steelworks Furnace (server-only)

  • Adds a server-side Steelworks Furnace accessed with the /steelworks command. It opens a single-row container that works with vanilla clients; no custom blocks or items are registered.
  • Slot layout: slot 1 takes iron ingots only, slot 2 accepts any furnace fuel, slot 3 is output only. Unused slots are locked.
  • Smelting time matches a vanilla furnace (200 ticks). Fuel is consumed using vanilla burn times, including proper crafting remainders (e.g., buckets from lava buckets).
  • Output is an iron ingot tagged and renamed as a Steel Ingot with lore marking it as forged steel, so it stacks separately from regular iron and is easy to identify.
  • Progress and remaining heat are reported to the action bar once per second while the player has an active session; contents are returned to the player inventory on logout to prevent loss.

Notes and limitations

  • The UI is chest-based and does not show a visual progress bar; rely on the action-bar updates for timing.
  • Only iron ingots can be smelted; other inputs are rejected. Steel ingots remain iron items under the hood to keep the mod compatible with vanilla clients.
