When I saw a youtube video of old in(f?)dev "lava forge", I immeadiately started imaging a mod in my head! Else something like this is already made, I'm gonna do this. I'd like to hear what you think. My idea is (maybe) like this: [L] = Lava [O] = Obsidian S = Sign Top: [O] [O] [O] [O] [L] [O] [O] [O] [O] Side: [O] [L] [O] [O] S [O] Sign could say [Furnace]? It should be done from obsidian / gold, (if your server is "adventure"), since it is pretty "super". Idea is that when you throw items from top, they appear "smelted" in the bottom. What do you people think? Ps. It would be possible to create a "box", with water streams going in and out...
So basicly it would smelt a dropped itemblock if ironore to iron, turn logs into coal, etc.? would be a nice idea, in my opinion.
Good news for everyone who is waiting forward to this: This IS gonna be made! I was just able to sort out the problems I had with the basic structure of the plugin.
