Done Alternative for Quick Smelt

I would love to see a fully working quick smelt. Theres several unmaintained addons out there and even the free one on UMOD but you have to get the download from the github as the actual addon hasnt been updated in over 2 years. So a faster smelting addon thats regularly tested and kept up to date would be awesome <3

I'm not against the idea, but I'm thinking how to make it different from other plugins of that type. I really want to avoid recreating things that already exist, especially since all QuickSmelt needs is for the author to merge the changes from GitHub. However, I'm definitely open to a free, constantly updated version. I'll give it some thought!
 
Maybe combind a mixture of like upgradable furnaces and quick smelt? Letting players upgrade only how quickly furnaces smelt. Using either scrap, RP, Ecconomics or custom items?

Its needed a merge for about 2 years now and still no ones done it. It would be also nice to have a default config that had all the containers that can smelt... espically when FP decides to add things a regular small furnace then the special small furnace thing
 
Since it's an abandoned plugin for a long time now most people moved on.
I also noticed there's been quite a few plugins trying to fill that gap but none really could.
The WhiteThunder fork does its job well but the issue is it needs to be found... Saw countless servers that still run the broken umod version.

I'm personally using a paid plugin by now and it appears to be very optimized for performance but it lacks many features, such as correct wood calculations from vanilla scaled to whatever speed you set it to for instance. Not really happy with it.

I'd have some ideas if you're willing to create such a plugin.
 
In fact, I've just started working on this idea, so absolutely, feel free to share your suggestions for this plugin!
 
Alright, here goes what I would like to see in such a plugin:

  • fully adjustable smelting rates, preferably with permissions
  • correct vanilla ore/wood/charcoal calculations in sync with adjustable smelting rates
(- some admins like to adjust multipliers for ore or charcoal, personally find it unnecessary but there a people who use it)
  • prefab smelting support (static refineries, bbq's, furnaces of any type)
  • does not have to be automated but the option for admins to decide which type of oven can be modified (a config section to add or remove ovens via short item names for instance)
  • the option for players to upgrade their smelting speeds with ingame items as currency or RP (economics is dead, no need imo)
(- in addition to above maybe custom items to upgrade as well, virtual quarries uses sth similar and it is really nice to have)
  • correct resource splitting in for any oven type
  • in symbiosis with above mentioned splitting a nice little UI where players can toggle those functions off/back on without the need of chat commands
  • in that UI the calculated remaining time showing how long it takes for the current batch in an oven type to be finished smelting, not that important tho.

That is pretty much what would make sense to me. Could add some more things but that may probably go beyond the scope of a normal smelting plugin.
