Fast Sand Smelting
Tired of waiting around for sand to smelt into glass? This mod speeds things up by allowing you to smelt Sand in the Blast Furnace, taking advantage of its faster smelting speed to get your glass in half the time!
How It Works
Simply place Sand into a Blast Furnace just like you would in a regular Furnace — it'll smelt into Glass at the Blast Furnace's increased speed.
Also Available as a Datapack
Prefer a lightweight, mod-free solution? This feature is also available as a datapack, fully compatible with vanilla Minecraft — no mod loader needed!
