FastFurnace
A performance upgrade for the furnace.
Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.
Project overview
About FastFurnace utilizes mixins to edit the functionality of the Furnace, Blast Furnace, and Smoker, improving their TPS performance (not smelting speed!) Similar to FastWorkbench, it caches the last recipe used, and checks this recipe first before re-scanning the entire registry. This is significantly faster due to the vanilla furnace scanning the entire furnace registry each tick, which may be fine for vanilla, but in a modded environment, gets very large very quickly. These changes apply to the Furnace, Blast Furnace, and Smoker. Any mod utilizing AbstractFurnaceTileEntity will also receive the benefits of having this mod installed. For people who like numbers, here is Vanilla vs FastFurnace . This is 9 furnaces each smelting cobblestone the entire time the test was conducted. The number of invocations is kept roughly the same as to not skew any numbers. This test was conducted in vanilla, which only has ~70 furnace recipes. In a modpack, there could be upwards of 700, significantly increasing the performance gain. Be sure to also check out FastWorkbench & Toast Control!

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide
This mod is most relevant to players looking for Performance on NeoForge, Forge, undefined. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

What to verify before choosing a file
- Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
- Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
- Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
- Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
- Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
