Fast Sand Smelting
Tired of waiting around for sand to smelt into glass? This datapack 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 Mod
Prefer a mod instead of a datapack? This feature is also available as a mod, compatible with Forge and Neoforge.
