FurnacePlus

Enhance your Minecraft gameplay with upgraded furnaces!

Mod Features

FurnacePlus is a Minecraft plugin that enables players to upgrade their furnaces to higher tiers. Each upgrade increases smelting speed while also raising fuel consumption, adding strategic resource management to the game. It's the perfect enhancement for servers looking to enrich the vanilla experience without fundamentally changing core mechanics.

Core Functions:

• Progressive upgrades: 5 upgrade levels, each accelerating the smelting process
• Balanced gameplay: Faster processing is offset by increased fuel requirements
• Flexible configuration: All parameters, player messages, and upgrade prerequisites are fully customizable
• Visual indicators: Hovering over furnaces displays their current level
• Upgrade effects: Sound effects and particle animations upon successful upgrades
• Access control: Built-in permission system and administrative commands

Upgrade Levels

• Level 0 (No Upgrade): Standard furnace behavior
• Levels 1-5: Each level increases smelting speed and fuel consumption

2. Place the JAR file into your server's plugins directory
