ThermalGrid

# ThermalGrid A Paper/Purpur 1.21.1 plugin that supercharges your furnaces through a grid-based cluster system and infinite Nether-fueled barrels + T2 and T3 furnaces. --- VIDEO: https://imgur.com/a/9TOjXrR --- ## Furnace Clustering Furnaces share heat — the more lit furnaces in your wall, the faster they all cook. | Neighbor Bonus | Each lit furnace nearby shaves 17 ticks off cook time | |----------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Grid Boost | Toggle on/off in `config.yml` | **Tier Multipliers:** - **Tier 1** (regular Furnace) — 1.0× speed, green particles - **Tier 2** — Diamond Furnace — 2.5× speed, aqua particles - **Tier 3** — Netherite Furnace — 5.0× speed, purple + lava particles --- ## Crafting ### Tier 2 — Diamond Furnace ``` D D D D F D D D D ``` `D` = Diamond, `F` = Furnace ### Tier 3 — Netherite Furnace ``` N N N N F N N N N ``` `N` = Netherite Ingot, `F` = Furnace ### Nether Barrel ``` N N N N * N N N N ``` `N` = Netherite Block, `*` = Nether Star Shift-right-click any Barrel with a Coal Block to tag it as a fuel tank. Place within 5 blocks of a furnace — when smeltable items are inserted, the furnace ignites instantly with no fuel needed. The barrel acts as an infinite fuel source for the entire grid. --- ## Commands | Command | Permission | Description | |--------------|----------------------|------------------------------------| | `/tgdebug` | — | Show the tier of targeted furnace | | `/tgreload` | `thermalgrid.reload` | Reload config from `config.yml` | --- ## Installation Requires **Paper** or **Purpur 1.21.1** (Java 21). 1.
