Better Than Wolves

• Firebox block
  • 1x1x1, 2x1x2, 3x1x3 or 5x1x5 multiblock with connected textures
  • Device has a single tile entity to store fuel, you can input the fuel into any block of the multiblock. It can be started with any method to start an oven
  • If any of the fireboxes are adjacent to a lava source, it is perpetually fired, as long as there’s fuel.
  • Up to 3 layers above count as furnace layers, the firebox will provide fuel, fire and potentially speed boosts to any ovens in those layers. The ovens will change texture so no fuel slot is visible to show it’s working.
  • In the Nether, fireboxes get a boost to fuel efficiency
• Valid furnace layers consist of the following blocks:
  • Air: air blocks throughout the multiblock can form draft structures that speed up the multiblock, including fuel use, though fuel use doesn’t scale linearly (aka drafts also count as a slight boost to fuel efficiency).
  • Bricks: bricks retain heat well and increase fuel efficiency a higher amount than drafts can, but don’t speed up the furnace. Can be mortared or not.
  • Lava: lava blocks greatly increase speed, but also decrease fuel efficiency. It doesn’t matter if the lava is a source or not.
  • Oven: oven blocks retain their normal function, but don’t accept or require fuel.
• Draft structures: to-do, but should be fairly simple to understand and avoid the existence of seemingly unsupported bits of the furnace. For example:
  • If a whole column above a firebox is enclosed air, it forms a draft column
  • Some sort of ruleset for rocket stoves?
  • Bellows should probably allow for even more draft later on
