The '''Furnace Engine''' (pre 0.5) was used to generate Rotational Force when a furnace/blast furnace/smoker smelts/cooks an item.
The '''Furnace Engine''' was a [[Kinetic Stress|Stress]]-generating block used to create [[Rotational Force]] when connected to any {{MC|Furnace}} currently going through the process of smelting. As of Version 0.5 of the Create Mod, this block has been retired, and can no longer be obtained in any way.

The Furnace Engine used to be the most powerful source of [[Stress|SU]] until it was removed in update 0.5 and its top spot was replaced by the Steam Engine. In order to generate power, it must be connected to a [https://minecraft.fandom.com/Furnace Furnace], [https://minecraft.fandom.com/Smoker Smoker], or [https://minecraft.fandom.com/Blast_Furnace Blast Furnace], as well as a [[Flywheel]]. To generate power with a Furnace Engine, place it adjacent a Furnace block, then place the Flywheel one block away from the Furnace Engine (there must be air between the two). They should be in a line, spanning 4 blocks in total. A Furnace/Smoker will generate 16384 SU at 16 RPM. Using a Blast Furnace will generate twice as much SU and RPM as the furnace and smoker at 32768 SU at 32 RPM. The only caveat with using the Blast Furnace is that it burns through smelting items quicker and has a much more limited set of smeltable items.
The Furnace Engine used to be the most powerful source of [[Stress]], until it was removed in update 0.5 and was replaced by the Steam Engine. In order to generate power, it was required to be connected to a {{MC|Furnace}}, {{MC|Smoker}}, or {{MC|Blast Furnace}}, as well as a [[Flywheel]]. The Furnace Engine needed to be in direct contact with the selected variant of Furnace, as well as have a one-block wide gap between itself and the Flywheel in order to begin producing stress.

The Furnace Engine will generate power so long as it is burning. When whatever fuel inside it stops burning, the generator will come to a halt.

Because of this, a chute can be attached to the top of the furnace with an encased fan on top (connected to the flywheel), which will make it so a piece of ore (or any item that can be cooked, depending on the type of furnace) will be inputted to start the power-making, and then withdrawn, but the flywheel continues to spin, and when it stops, the item will be inputted again to restart the smelting, taken out, and so on, creating an infinite power source as long as you can fuel it. This contraption is known as a "RIPOF gen" (Recycled Item Perpetuation of Flywheel), but is sometimes called "Frendigo's trick" because the first design was made by [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnoK0zlWESPUtXV_oqvX4EA Frendigo] in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3EIB3x_2IU Create 0.3 Automatic Blast Furnace Generator (WITHOUT USING ORE!!!)].

This feature used to be in the mod but has since been removed.


The Furnace Engine was a Stress-generating block used to create Rotational Force when connected to any Furnace currently going through the process of smelting. As of Version 0.5 of the Create Mod, this block has been retired, and can no longer be obtained in any way.

Power Generation[edit | edit source]

The Furnace Engine used to be the most powerful source of Stress, until it was removed in update 0.5 and was replaced by the Steam Engine. In order to generate power, it was required to be connected to a Furnace, Smoker, or Blast Furnace, as well as a Flywheel. The Furnace Engine needed to be in direct contact with the selected variant of Furnace, as well as have a one-block wide gap between itself and the Flywheel in order to begin producing stress. Using a Blast Furnace would have doubled the efficiency of the engine at the cost of fuel and limiting the variety of items that could be used to start the engine. The engine would continue to produce power until it ran out of fuel and the furnace had stopped burning, slowing to a halt.

Place coal in the bottom slot of the furnace and a combustible material such as logs in the top.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Curiously, though the Furnace Engine was removed, the Flywheel was not. It has been kept into the later versions of the Create mod as a decorative block.
  • The Furnace Engine never checked for whether or not an item was actually being smelted, only if the Furnace or any of its variants were active. This allowed for the creation of designs such as the, "Recycled Item Perpetuation of the Flywheel" or R.I.P.O.F. generator by YouTube media creator Frendigo, where the furnace would constantly cycle one item in its input slot and start the furnace without ever smelting the item. A video demonstrating this can be found here.
  • You can add this to your game with Dreams & Desires mod :)
