⭐ New in v1.3: Fusion Forge

Fusion Forge

An advanced metal fusion workstation designed for late-game efficiency and consistency.

The Fusion Forge processes two material inputs + fuel, allowing metals to be fused for higher and more reliable yields than traditional smelting or Fortune-based mining.

Its true potential is unlocked by installing a Nether Star catalyst (permanent, non-consumable), which doubles all outputs and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages — without relying on RNG.

Core Mechanics

• Requires 2 input slots + fuel to operate.
• Optional Nether Star catalyst:
  • Not consumed.
  • Doubles all recipe outputs.
• Designed to outperform Fortune III averages, not theoretical maximums.
• Focused on late-game optimization, not early progression skips.

Example Fusion Recipes

Recipe Type Inputs Base Output With Nether Star Ore Fusion Silk-touched ore + Copper Ingot ~Fortune II average x2 output Netherite Fusion Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot 3 Netherite Nuggets 6 Nuggets Alloy Fusion Raw Iron + Coal 3 Iron Ingots 6 Iron Ingots

Outputs are balanced per material based on vanilla Fortune drop tables.

Fusion Forge recipes are fully data-driven and not hardcoded.

Custom recipes can be defined via JSON using the lategameplus:fusion_forge recipe type:

{ "type": "lategameplus:fusion_forge", "input_a": "minecraft:raw_iron", "input_b": "#minecraft:coals", "result": { "id": "minecraft:iron_ingot", "count": 3 }, "experience": 0.5, "cook_time": 200, "fuel_cost": 100 }

• input_a and input_b are order-independent.
• Fully compatible with datapacks for custom balancing or mod integration.
• Designed for extensibility by advanced users and modpack creators.
