Description
# Solar Cooker
This Minecraft mod adds a Solar Cooker. (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt)
## Dependencies
The Fabric / Quilt version needs the following mods:
- Fabric API ([Github](https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric), [Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api))
- Cloth Config API ([Github](https://github.com/shedaniel/cloth-config), [Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config))
## Features
It acts like a furnace but needs **sunlight instead of fuel**.
In default configuration all smelting recipes (before 1.21 all smoking recipes) are working in the Solar Cooker and they need 4 times more time than in a vanilla Furnace.
The mod is configurable and you can change the recipes to "smoking" or "blasting". You can configure the cook time factor and blacklist recipes as well as add recipes via datapacks.

There is also a [wiki](https://github.com/cech12/SolarCooker/wiki) where you can read all details about the mod.

## FAQ
### Can I use this mod in my mod pack?
Yes, you are allowed to use this mod in your mod packs.
### Port to another Minecraft version? Which versions are supported?
Sorry, but I do not backport any mod to an older version. Here is a list of all supported and planned versions: [Minecraft mod versions of cech12](https://gist.github.com/cech12/662e37d2f8524037d9fef8fbe90bed5a)
### Is there a Fabric version?
Yes, since 1.20.4 Fabric and Quilt are officially supported. There is no plan to backport Fabric support to earlier Minecraft versions.
### Where is the config file?
There is a defaultconfig directory, where you can find it. If you change something there it has only an effect on new savegames. For existing savegames you need to go to the serverconfig directory of the savegame.
### I found a bug or I have a good idea to enhance this mod!
Very good! Open an [issue at Github](https://github.com/cech12/SolarCooker/issues) or contact me on Discord.
