Since the plugin that allows us to retain lava buckets, (while smelting) is broke, a new plugin has been added to fill the void! This new plugin adds a little functionality to smelting stuff in furnaces.

You can read more about it here:

It isn't working for me. When I get to the step where I place the sign I get the following message:

So...does this mean you get unlimited smelts, or does the lava get used up after a period of time?

i have the same problem

yeah...I also wondering it's unlimited or just a pro-long the time for smelting..

if it's unlimited...then it has eliminate the purpose of mining the coal.......

And no body will mine the coal anymore and just build one for life..

Its not unlimited, Its just automated. You still have to place the lava as well

Also the permissions should be fixed now

I still get "The magical runes fizzle then fade away... The magic does not yield to your command..."

i don't have perms for it

it says: "the magic does not yield to your command."

It says the Same thing to me <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/2639.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":(">:(</object>
