### Blaze Rods Smelt Items at 2x Speed Blaze Rods smelt/cook all items at double the speed of other fuel types - This effect stacks with the 2x speed increase of the smoker / blast furnace
^{so 2x speed in furnace - 4x speed in smoker and blast furnace} - Blaze Rods smelt/cook 8 items instead of 12
^{partially to balance for the speed increase, but moreso just for simpler math and making it a more 'direct' upgrade of coal/charcoal}

"Why?"

often see a whole lot of blaze rods being left pretty much unused from blaze xp farms and whatnot. adding a more appealing functionality to them makes blaze rods feel less like junk and turns them into a _very_ desirable fuel source for future farms, large smelters, and/or just general use.
^{(especially among more 'technical' players)} the issue isn't only at the scale of farms/grinders - even in smaller quantities, after making a brewing stand and a bit of powder, blaze rods tend to just sit in chests. I hardly ever see them being used as fuel in vanilla. just seems like a good mid-game progression step that adds another longer-term desirable material to the nether dimension, which I think is cool and neat and cool gameplay wise.

Technical Notes

- modifies data/minecraft/context_float_provider/cooking/speed_default.json to add check for blaze rods and adjust the modifier accordingly - modifies data/minecraft/context_int_provider/cooking/time_blaze_rod.json to set dividend to 800 ticks (vanilla 1200 ticks) _this methodology effectively changes the default cooking data component of the blaze rod by way of altering the number providers it relies on; avoiding the need to modify the blaze loot table and/or account for previously existing unmodified blaze rods._ **this pack runs no function logic, so TPS impact should be negligible**
