Custom Fuel 26.2

Learn how to create your own fuel items.

Fuels are the items that can be used in a furnace to smelt ores and cook food. Let's see how we can create our own custom fuel.

Creating the Item

Let's create a fuel item called "Quark-Gloun Plasma". We start by creating an item as usual:

public static final ResourceKey<Item> QUARK_GLUON_PLASMA = create("quark_gluon_plasma");

public static final Item QUARK_GLUON_PLASMA = register(
		ModItemIds.QUARK_GLUON_PLASMA,
		Item::new,
		new Item.Properties()
);

To make it a fuel, we will use the FuelValueEvents.BUILD event from the Fabric Content Registries API:

// Remember, Minecraft deals with logical based-time using ticks.
// 20 ticks = 1 second.
FuelValueEvents.BUILD.register((builder, context) -> {
	builder.add(ModItems.QUARK_GLUON_PLASMA, 120 * 20);
});

As usual, don't forget to add a texture, translation, creative tab, yada yada. Here's an example texture:
