Furnace Upgrades

Level up your smelting. Players upgrade each furnace on its own: faster smelting, faster fuel burn, more ore output and more charcoal. They pay with scrap, Economics or ServerRewards. Works on furnaces, large and electric furnaces, refineries, campfires, BBQs and even the Mixing Table.

It replaces the classic "quick smelt" with a real progression. Every oven grows with the player who owns it.

Features

Upgrades

• Four upgrades per oven:
  • Smelting speed: cooks faster.
  • Fuel speed: burns fuel faster, so wood turns into charcoal quicker.
  • Resource output: more metal per ore.
  • Charcoal: more charcoal from wood.
• Unlimited levels. Add as many levels as you want, each with its own cost and multiplier.
• Per-oven settings. Every oven type has its own upgrade tree.
• Mixing Table speed. Mix faster, up to 100% quicker.
• Upgrades stay with the oven. Pick it up and place it again and it keeps its levels (optional).

Quality of life

• Auto split. Ores spread evenly across the slots on their own.
• Auto fuel. Adds exactly the fuel needed for the batch, calculated from the oven's upgrades. Faster smelting also burns fuel faster, and Auto fuel accounts for that.
• Status panel. Shows the oven's levels, time left and fuel needed right on the oven screen.
• Server-wide defaults. Set a base speed and output for every oven, without upgrades. That's your quick smelt replacement.
• Charcoal chance. Control how often wood turns into charcoal.

Control

• Pay how you like. Scrap (or any item, even skinned), Economics or ServerRewards.
• Owner or team only. Limit upgrades, or even turning the oven on and off, to the owner and their team.
• Permission-based levels. Each upgrade level can need its own permission, for example Level 3 for VIPs only.
• Feature permissions. Auto fuel, auto split, the upgrade button and the status panel can each be locked behind a permission.
• Turn any feature off you don't want.
• Notifications by chat, GameTip, Toastify or Notify, with an upgrade effect.
• Every message is in the lang file.

How it works

1. Open a furnace. An UPGRADE button and a status panel appear on the oven screen.
2. Click UPGRADE to see all four upgrades with the current level, the next level and the cost.
3. Buy a level. The cost is taken and the oven upgrades at once.
4. Turn on Auto split and Auto fuel in the same window if you have them.

FAQ

My upgrades disappear when I pick up a furnace.

Your stacks plugin lets ovens stack. Set every oven item's stack size to 1. See the warning under Installation.

Can I use it as a simple quick smelt?

Yes. Raise Smelting speed and Resource output multiplier in Default Settings. Every oven gets that boost with no upgrades needed.

Can I make the top level VIP only?

Yes. Turn on Use permission based upgrade, put a permission like furnaceupgrades.vip on that level, and grant it to your VIP group.

Can other players upgrade my furnace?

Not by default. Only you and your teammates can. Set Only the owner can upgrade the furnace to make it owner only.

Ores aren't splitting.

Make sure the player has furnaceupgrades.autosplit and has the option turned on in the upgrade window. Don't run another furnace splitter plugin at the same time.

Can I charge something other than scrap?

Yes. Set Currency type to 1 for Economics or 2 for ServerRewards, or change Currency item to any item.
