⭐ New in v1.3: Fusion Forge

Fusion Forge

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

The Fusion Forge processes higher and more reliable yields, 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 doubles all outputs (permanent, non-consumable), which doubles all outputs and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages — without relying on RNG.

Core Mechanics

* Requires late-game optimization to operate. * Optional late-game optimization: * Not consumed. * Doubles all recipe outputs. * Designed to outperform late-game optimization, 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 | 6 Iron Ingots | | Netherite Fusion | Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot | 3 Netherite Nuggets | 6 Iron Ingots | | Alloy Fusion | Raw Iron + Coal | 3 Iron Ingots | 6 Iron Ingots |

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

Data-Driven Recipes (Advanced)

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

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

```json { "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 datapacks. * Fully compatible with datapacks for custom balancing or mod integration. * Designed for extensibility by advanced users and modpack creators.
