Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon
If you have ever stared at a vanilla furnace and wished it could smelt an entire mining expedition in seconds, the Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon is exactly the kind of mod you have been waiting for. Built as an expansion for the BetterFurnaces Reforged mod, this add-on pushes the concept of automated smelting to absurd new heights, introducing a whole family of forges and furnaces that the base mod never planned to include.
The core idea is simple but addictive: every new machine you craft feeds into the next tier, and every tier multiplies your processing speed. Once you experience a Netherhot Forge chewing through stacks of ore, going back to a regular furnace feels like watching paint dry.
What the Add-On Adds
The Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon focuses on two parallel progression lines: furnaces and forges. Each one has its own speed multiplier, and the numbers get genuinely wild as you climb the ladder.
New Furnace Tiers
- Copper Furnace: 1.12x normal furnace speed, but only if your modpack includes copper ingots in the forge tag
- Ultimate Furnace: a staggering 200x normal furnace speed for players who want instant results
New Forge Tiers
- Copper Forge: 1.12x3 normal furnace speed, requiring both copper ingots and copper blocks in the forge tag
- Iron Forge: 1.5x3 normal furnace speed
- Gold Forge: 2x3 normal furnace speed
- Diamond Forge: 4x3 normal furnace speed
- Netherhot Forge: 25x3 normal furnace speed
- Ultimate Forge: 200x3 normal furnace speed, the pinnacle of the entire progression
That triple multiplier on forges means they process three items simultaneously, so a Diamond Forge is effectively running at twelve times vanilla throughput. The Netherhot and Ultimate Forge tiers turn large-scale smelting operations into a matter of seconds rather than minutes.
Furnace Tier Upgrades
One of the smartest design choices in this add-on is the upgrade system. Instead of forcing you to break your existing furnace and rebuild from scratch, tier upgrades let you improve a machine in place. The catch is that an upgrade only works on the furnace exactly one tier below it, so you still have to earn each step of the progression.
- Copper Upgrade: converts a vanilla Furnace into a Copper Furnace
- Ultimate Upgrade: converts an Extreme Furnace into the Ultimate Furnace
This keeps the grind meaningful without making it tedious. You invest in the tier you have, then upgrade it when you gather the right materials, preserving any enchantments or configurations along the way.
Version and Loader Support
The Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon for Minecraft is designed to sit alongside BetterFurnaces Reforged, so your first step is confirming that the base mod supports your game version. The add-on has been built primarily for the classic 1.12.2 era of modded Minecraft and runs through the Forge loader, which remains the standard for large kitchen-sink modpacks from that generation. Always check that your BetterFurnaces Reforged build matches the add-on version you plan to use, because mismatched dependencies are the most common cause of crashes on startup.
If you would rather skip the manual dependency juggling entirely, the foxygame.net launcher handles it for you: it detects the required BetterFurnaces Reforged version, pairs it automatically with the Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon, and installs everything into a ready-to-play profile with a single click.
How to Install
Getting the add-on running is straightforward once your environment is prepared. Here is the standard process:
- Install a compatible version of Minecraft with the Forge loader
- Place the BetterFurnaces Reforged mod file into your mods folder
- Add the Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon file to the same folder
- Launch the game and verify both mods load without errors
- Craft a Copper Furnace or Forge and begin climbing the tier ladder
When you download Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon, double-check that the file matches your Minecraft version. Dropping a 1.12.2 build into a newer profile will not work, and the game will usually fail silently or throw a missing dependency error.
Final Thoughts
The Ultimate Furnaces- BFR Addon is a focused, well-executed expansion that respects the balance of BetterFurnaces Reforged while dramatically raising the ceiling. The Copper tier gives early-game players a gentle boost, the middle tiers reward steady progression, and the 200x Ultimate machines deliver the kind of endgame payoff that makes a massive storage system finally feel worth building. If smelting speed has ever been the bottleneck in your factory, this add-on removes that bottleneck completely.
