⭐ New in v1.3: Fusion Forge

Fusion Forge

An advanced metal fusion workstation designed for late-game efficiency and consistency.

The Fusion Forge processes two material inputs + fuel, allowing metals to be fused for higher and more reliable yields than traditional smelting or Fortune-based mining.

Its true potential is unlocked by installing a Nether Star catalyst (permanent, non-consumable), which doubles all outputs and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages — without relying on RNG.

---

Core Mechanics

• Requires 2 input slots + fuel to operate.
• Optional Nether Star catalyst:
  • Not consumed.
  • Doubles all recipe outputs.
• Designed to outperform Fortune III averages, not theoretical maximums.
• Focused on late-game optimization, not early progression skips.

---

Example Fusion Recipes

Recipe Type	Inputs	Base Output	With Nether Star
Ore Fusion	Silk-touched ore + Copper Ingot	~Fortune II average	x2 output
Netherite Fusion	Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot	3 Netherite Nuggets	6 Nuggets
Alloy Fusion	Raw Iron + Coal	3 Iron Ingots	6 Iron Ingots

Outputs are balanced per material based on vanilla Fortune drop tables.

---

Data-Driven Recipes (Advanced)

Fusion Forge recipes are fully data-driven and not hardcoded.

Custom recipes can be defined via JSON using the lategameplus:fusion_forge recipe type:

{
  "type": "lategameplus:fusion_forge",
  "input_a": "minecraft:raw_iron",
  "input_b": "#minecraft:coals",
  "result": {
    "id": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
    "count": 3
  },
  "experience": 0.5,
  "cook_time": 200,
  "fuel_cost": 100
}

• input_a and input_b are order-independent.
• Fully compatible with datapacks for custom balancing or mod integration.
• Designed for extensibility by advanced users and modpack creators.
