The Fire Forge

The Fire Forge 0.1.2 — Release

The Fire Forge is now a 3×3×3 multiblock. Build it around the existing centre controller using 8 Dragonsteel Blocks (any Fire, Ice or Lightning mixture), 9 Titanium Blocks and 9 Uranium Blocks. It forms automatically when the correct layout is complete.

Added the approved medieval forge appearance with dark iron framing, Ultimate Alloy wall panels, an arched furnace door and subtle Dragonsteel details. The controller retains its original appearance while unformed.

Added Dragonfire Catalyst: craft one with a Coal Block and any Fire, Ice or Lightning Dragon Blood. The forge has a separate fuel slot and consumes one catalyst per successful weapon assembly.

Added a Craft button, persistent output slot and server-synchronized progress arrow. Assembly takes 100 game ticks by default (configurable). Missing fuel or blocked output pauses the process; changed inputs or an invalid structure cancel it without consuming ingredients or fuel.

Big Bertha, the Royal Guardian Sword and the Royal Assailant Battleaxe still require this forge. Their existing ingredient arrangements remain unchanged. Existing nine-slot forge inventories are preserved when upgrading.

Added construction help and updated optional JEI integration. Fixed placement/orientation support and implemented saved component restoration on disassembly.

Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge / Java 21. Requires Antarchy and its dependencies. Ice and Fire is needed to build and fuel the multiblock; the addon can still load without it. JEI is optional.

Validation: 23 recorded GameTests passed; production JAR and model-resource audits passed; dedicated-server startup verified. Visual GUI/JEI and real multiplayer testing remain manual checks.

The Crazy Antarchy Ruined Foundry structures and Dragonforge alloy conversion are separate pack datapacks and are not bundled in this standalone mod.
