How it works​

The Everburning Furnace binds a furnace, blast furnace, or smoker so it never needs fuel. Right-click the machine to bind it, and the fire and lava around it burn away. The rune drinks itself into the furnace — its fire will never die.

From then on it stays lit and cooks whatever you load into it. Leave the fuel slot empty. The binding lasts until someone breaks the furnace with a pickaxe.

Tips​

Bind a row of them for a fuel-free smelting line fed by hoppers.

Configuration​
