Furnaces/Ovens

[metouto]

I know we have not gotten there yet but was thinking .....

1) the furnaces/ovens are dark if not cooking something

2) the furnaces/ovens are lite if they are cooking something

3) but there is no way to tell if you have a fuel item (without looking) in a certain furnaces/ovens

Question to think about ... Could we have a flame (like a gas furnaces/ovens have) if there is fuel to a furnaces/ovens which uses the fuel but at a very low rate so it we have 8 furnaces/ovens then we will be able to see which have fuel with a quick look


IMHO .... this would put us one step higher on the "cool" level because the others don't have any at all

I like the idee you mean so?

We could think of different colored flames as well, maybe just orange glow for coals, and blueish flames for gas powerd furnaces …

Yup, this would fall under "block variations" I'd say. Like bookshelves that pick a specific block depending on how many books are present in the associated container. When a player adds fuel to a furnace through a GUI or by dropping an item on it an event triggers that changes the block to the appropriate variant
