Permissions

This plugin uses Oxide’s permission system. To grant access, use the following commands in your console:

quicksmelt.use → Allows the player to apply Quick Smelt configurations to their furnaces.

Example:

oxide.grant user <name or steamID> quicksmelt.use

Replace <name or steamID> with the player’s SteamID or name. You can follow this guide How to Find a User’s SteamID to get the correct ID.

  1. Use Permission
    true/false → Whether the plugin respects the quicksmelt.use permission.
  2. Speed Multipliers
    Controls how fast furnaces and campfires smelt items.
    Can be set globally or per furnace.
    Example: "furnace.shortname": 2.0 → smelts twice as fast.
  3. Fuel Usage
    Fuel Usage Speed Multipliers → Adjusts how quickly fuel burns.
    Fuel Usage Multipliers → Multiplies fuel consumption.
  4. Output Multipliers
    Adjust how many resources are produced per smelt.
    Can be global or per item/furnace.
  5. Whitelist / Blacklist
    Specify which items can or cannot be smelted (affects input only, not output).
  6. Smelting Frequencies
    Determines how often items are smelted.
    Value = smelt every N ticks.
    Higher numbers → slower smelting.
    Example: "global": 2 → smelts every 2 ticks.

Apply Settings

Replace all furnace.shortname with the actual entity:

furnace → Small Furnace

furnace.large → Large Furnace

campfire → Campfire

Use global to apply settings to all furnaces and campfires at once.
