How to make infinite burntime?

[Badkraft]

Say I want to have a fuel in the furnace have infinite burn time only in creative. How would I do that?

I don't think this is easily doable.
Just make the burntime really big or add a replacement for the fuel like this:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft {
	type = "fuel",
	recipe = "default:dirt",
	burntime = 1,
	replacements = {{"default:dirt", "default:dirt"}},
}

I'm not fully understanding how replacements work; especially in this instance. Can you explain the behavior?

In the previous example dirt is a fuel and when it gets used it is replaced by dirt again so it will never be used up.
(Just try it out if you want to understand it better, but only put a single dirt in the fuel slot of the furnace otherwise the replaced dirt will go into the output slot I think.)

An example in MTG is the lava bucked recipe.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
	type = "fuel",
	recipe = "bucket:bucket_lava",
	burntime = 60,
	replacements = {{"bucket:bucket_lava", "bucket:bucket_empty"}},
})

In this case you get a empty bucket back.
