✨ Features

🔥 5 Upgrade Tiers

Progress through 5 levels of furnace upgrades, each requiring different materials:

• Level 1: Iron Ingots → Basic upgrade
• Level 2: Gold Ingots → Faster smelting
• Level 3: Diamonds → Even faster
• Level 4: Netherite Ingots → Premium speed
• Level 5: Netherite + 100 XP Levels → Ultimate furnace

⚡ Configurable Speed

Each upgrade level has its own speed multiplier. At max level, your furnace smelts up to 6x faster than vanilla!

🎁 Bonus Yields

Higher levels grant bonus output when smelting:

• Level 4: 1-3x yield
• Level 5: 1-4x yield

✨ Beautiful Particle Effects

• Spiral Animation: Continuous ascending spiral particles around upgraded furnaces
• Level-Based Particles: Each tier has unique particle effects (Smoke → Flame → Cloud → Soul Fire → Totem)
• Upgrade Burst: Satisfying particle burst when upgrading

🏷️ Holographic Display

A floating hologram above each upgraded furnace shows its current level.

📦 Portable Upgrades

Break an upgraded furnace and it drops as a special item that retains its level when placed again!
