This mod is now considered deprecated, it has been superseded by a better mod, More Fuel, Tweaks, and everything.
It has all features this mod has, has bugs fixed, plus is customizable and works for literally any Minecraft version.
If you still want to use More Fuel mod, keep in mind that it has a bug preventing two items with same ID but different damage value (metadata) to be handled properly.
Also, due to FML bug that makes it a bit incompatible with ModLoader, with Forge none of items with metadata specified burn at all.
* Item included as fuel to support old Minecraft versions
- Coal or charcoal is still the most efficient fuel
- Damaged wooden tools burn just as good
- Wool color doesn't matter
- It's better to break the boat into 3 planks and 2 sticks instead of burning it
Source code
Now public domain, look right in the mod_moreFuel.zip archive.
Have fun!

Looks very good! I like it that Netherrack and wooden tools now have a purpose. I know Netherrack's okay for traps and decoration but...this just makes it much more useful. And as for wooden tools, I'm sure there are plenty of Minecrafters out there who still have their wooden tools in a storage chest somewhere. I know I do. And hey, Wool gets annoying after a while too. Overall a great first mod in my opinion, I will try it sometime!
I've read your suggestion, master525.
There isn't much use for a just burning for the heck of it thing, doesn't make much sense in burning flowers, seeds, wheat and mushrooms, not sure about the gunpowder either.
Fireplace is well simulated with hidden burning netherrack.
But you reminded me about wooden slabs, thanks!
I've looked into the code, looks like adding them would be troublesome and unclean, as they share the same blockID with stone, sandstone and cobble slabs and only blockID is passed to the AddFuel function in ModLoader. Hmm...
You said that coal is the best fuel, that is unfortunately rong. Bucket of lava is the best fuel at 100s.
Longer lasting fuel per one item - definitely. Per full stack? No. Easier to obtain? Depends. Faster to use? Nope.
According to the article http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Furnace
I think this is an awesome idea, but it needs to be more balances, u shud make d rarer items burn for longer
Well, I based items burn time on my interpretation of "Minecraft way" and realism, not on the items rarity.
I'm quite certain that it's wasteful to burn strings if you need them.
killthenrun1, I think you aren't risking anything by installing the mod without ModLoader. It overwrites the class ModLoader would use, so if you just unpack the archive into minecraft.jar, after installing ModLoader it will change to ModLoader-compatible version.
By the way, turns out to be 1.6.4 compatible without any changes.

Reconsidered? Go get More Fuel, Tweaks, and everything!
No? Well... here's the post for historical purposes.

Very Very similar To what I suggested.
(Look at what it can burn...)
There isn't much use for a just burning for the heck of it thing, doesn't make much sense in burning flowers, seeds, wheat and mushrooms, not sure about the gunpowder either.
Fireplace is well simulated with hidden burning netherrack.

Saplings are a 5s fuel in original Minecraft since Beta 1.5, so no addition needed =)
I'm still waiting on Minecraft Coder Pack to update.

By the way, turns out to be 1.6.4 compatible without any changes.
I just studied the differences between 1.5_01 and 1.6.2 and changed the references in the mod accordingly.
It works smoothly, and it was easy as cake to install.
Looking forward to seeing more mods from yoyu =^.^=
Feel free to make suggestions =)
