Heater

Heater is a technological mod that fundamentally changes the approach to fuel usage in Minecraft. Instead of loading fuel into each furnace separately, you can create a centralized heating system that transfers heat to nearby devices.

The mod adds only three blocks that completely transform your smelting and cooking system.

Heater

Heater is the heart of the entire system. It consumes fuel and transfers the generated heat to all compatible devices nearby. Works with regular furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers from vanilla Minecraft, as well as similar blocks from other mods.

Heat Pipe

Heat Pipe allows heat to be transmitted over longer distances from the heater. However, remember that heat gradually dissipates during transmission, and the pipe's oxidation state can reduce the maximum distance.

Heat Pipe crafting recipe

The Heat Pipe doesn't create entities, so you can build complex systems without risking game performance drops.

Thermostat

Available starting from version 2.0.

Thermostat is a smart device that allows heat to pass only in the direction it's facing and only when receiving a redstone signal. When turned off, it blocks heat transmission like a regular block.

Interestingly, the thermostat can also direct heat back into the heater, functioning as a kind of heat signal amplifier.

The thermostat also doesn't create entities.

Compatibility

Starting from Heater version 4.0, compatibility logic with other mods has been moved to the Burning library mod. The main principle remains the same - the system automatically works with any blocks whose entities inherit from the AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity class.
