Features
-
No blocks placed – opens GUI directly from inventory item
-
Smart activation – only triggers when cursor is empty (preserves vanilla stack‑splitting)
-
Leftover recovery – items return to inventory on close; overflow drops at feet
-
Background smelting – furnaces continue burning after GUI closes
-
Anvil durability – matches vanilla anvil block behaviour (12% chance per use)
-
Block placement sync – place a furnace block to transfer all items and progress
-
Cursor preserved – when switching between workstation GUIs
-
Fully configurable – enable/disable, add/remove any block via TOML
-
Mod compatible – works with JEI, REI, EMI, etc.
-
No invasive changes – only @Accessor/@Invoker mixins
