It introduces customizable mechanics, interactions, and economy-based upgrades for furnaces, making them more interactive and fun for players. Here's a summary of its features:

Features:

1. Custom Furnace Upgrades:

   • Players can upgrade their furnaces to various levels, each improving their performance (e.g., reducing cooking time).
   • Each level has a configurable cost, tied to the server's economy system.

2. Economy Integration (Vault Support):

   • The plugin uses Vault for economy operations, enabling seamless integration with existing currency systems.
   • Upgrade costs and custom furnaces can be purchased using in-game currency.

3. Persistent Furnace Levels:

   • Furnace levels are stored persistently in a configurable YAML file (furnace_data.yml), ensuring upgrades remain saved across server restarts.
   • The furnace level is embedded in the furnace’s metadata for efficient handling.

4. Custom Language Support:

   • All plugin messages are stored in a separate language.yml file, making it easy to customize text for different languages.

5. Custom Item Mechanics:

   • Players can receive custom furnaces with special metadata indicating their level.
   • Breaking a furnace drops its upgraded version, retaining the level for future use.

   • The GUI displays:
     • The current furnace level.
