so far just an increase to 3 input slots and adjusted the menu ui to not look janky. this is my first mod and since i have not seen one yet i thought i should upload it. i also wanted to thank Buggi for the tutorial video. if you want to use this in your own modpack or server than go for it. i have not tested it on a server but i did set up a bunch of them with different stuff getting smelted and did not find any problems.
