QuickSmelt

A PaperMC plugin that reduces smelting time across all furnace types with full per-furnace configuration.

How It Works

When a furnace starts smelting an item, QuickSmelt intercepts the cook time and multiplies it by a configurable value. A multiplier of 0.5 means items take 50% of the normal time — twice as fast. Fuel consumption is unaffected by default, so you naturally get more items per piece of coal.

Works with all three furnace types:

• Furnace
• Blast Furnace
• Smoker

Installation

Drop quicksmelt-1.0.0.jar into your server's plugins/ folder and restart.

Configuration

Found at plugins/QuickSmelt/config.yml after first launch.

furnace:
  enabled: true
  speed-multiplier: 0.5

blast-furnace:
  enabled: true
  speed-multiplier: 0.5

smoker:
  enabled: true
  speed-multiplier: 0.5

min-cook-time: 20
scale-fuel: false

speed-multiplier

Controls how fast items smelt. Applied to the default cook time in ticks.

Value	Effect
0.5	2× faster
0.25	4× faster
0.1	10× faster
1.0	Vanilla speed
2.0	2× slower

min-cook-time

Minimum cook time in ticks regardless of multiplier. Prevents instant smelting. Default is 20 (1 second).

scale-fuel

When false (default), fuel burns at vanilla speed. Since items smelt faster, you get more items per piece of fuel. When true, fuel burn time is scaled down to match, keeping items-per-fuel equal to vanilla.
