Smelting Sand In A Blast Furnace Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Minecraft Glass Production Made Faster

Smelting Sand In A Blast Furnace Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) introduces a simple yet impactful tweak to Minecraft’s smelting system by allowing players to smelt sand into glass using the blast furnace. While traditionally reserved for ores and metals, the blast furnace now becomes a viable option for mass-producing glass, saving both time and fuel for builders and redstone engineers alike.

Inspired by real-world industrial processes where sand is melted at high temperatures to form glass, this mod not only enhances efficiency but also adds a subtle layer of realism to your Minecraft gameplay.

Features:

• Allows sand to be smelted directly into glass using a blast furnace.
• Smelting time is halved compared to regular furnaces, making glass production significantly faster.
• Compatible with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt mod loaders.
• Comes with configurable settings:
  • Edit blastingsand.json in your profile folder to add more blocks.
  • Toggle features and behavior directly through in-game settings (if enabled by modpack).
• Useful for builders, glass farms, and automation setups requiring large quantities of glass.
