Features
- No blocks placed – opens GUI directly from inventory item
- Smart activation – only triggers when cursor is empty (preserves vanilla stack‑splitting)
- Leftover recovery – items return to inventory on close; overflow drops at feet
- Background smelting – furnaces continue burning after GUI closes
- Anvil durability – matches vanilla anvil block behaviour (12% chance per use)
- Block placement sync – place a furnace block to transfer all items and progress
- Cursor preserved – when switching between workstation GUIs
- Fully configurable – enable/disable, add/remove any block via TOML
- Mod compatible – works with JEI, REI, EMI, etc.
- No invasive changes – only
