UpgradeFurnace
Transform your ordinary furnaces into powerful smelting machines!
UpgradeFurnace is a lightweight Paper plugin that lets players upgrade their furnaces through 5 tiers, each providing faster smelting speeds, bonus yields, and stunning particle effects.
✨ Features
🔥 5 Upgrade Tiers
Progress through 5 levels of furnace upgrades, each requiring different materials:
- Level 1: Iron Ingots → Basic upgrade
- Level 2: Gold Ingots → Faster smelting
- Level 3: Diamonds → Even faster
- Level 4: Netherite Ingots → Premium speed
- Level 5: Netherite + 100 XP Levels → Ultimate furnace
⚡ Configurable Speed
Each upgrade level has its own speed multiplier. At max level, your furnace smelts up to 6x faster than vanilla!
🎁 Bonus Yields
Higher levels grant bonus output when smelting:
- Level 4: 1-3x yield
- Level 5: 1-4x yield
✨ Beautiful Particle Effects
- Spiral Animation: Continuous ascending spiral particles around upgraded furnaces
- Level-Based Particles: Each tier has unique particle effects (Smoke → Flame → Cloud → Soul Fire → Totem)
- Upgrade Burst: Satisfying particle burst when upgrading
🏷️ Holographic Display
A floating hologram above each upgraded furnace shows its current level.
