Fuel Canister
Fill a FuelCanister with burnable items and use it one by one in a furnace for more efficient operation
About this Mod
The Fuel Canister mod adds one Item: the FuelCanister.
It can be filled with different kinds of Fuel and then be used in a Furnace, where it burns one item at a time for maximum smelting efficiency.
Filling the Canister
The Canister can be filled in two ways:
- Combining it with any burnable fuel in a crafting grid
- Right-clicking the Item, which consumes all fuels in your inventory. This only consumes, that are whitelisted in the config.
Note, that the right-click method does not work in creative mode and I will not put effort into fixing this, as I see it as a non-issue.
Creative Canister
This mod also adds a Creative FuelCanister Item, that can only be obtained in the creative Tab. It does not consume fuel when burning and acts as an infinite fuel source
Crafting

Configuration
The configuration uses the standard Forge Config Format and provides 3 Options.
They are documented inside the toml files.
The configuration Option autoFuels is used to define which items are used by the right-click refueling.
It is a list of items, where each item can either be just an Item ID, or a JSON-Ingredient like in a Recipe.
Quotes (") in the Ingredient must be escaped with a Backslash ()
