Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.1, outdated):
BlastFurnace.zip
1-click install
Adds a blast furnace- a high temperature (3000°C) forge that requires coke (or any modded fuel with a burn temp >= 1340°C).
It is crafted with iron plates, nails, and a forge.
This mod is intended to be used with other mods that add new metals that require higher temperatures to be forged.
Feel free to use this mod for whatever you want, I made it for my server but figured some other modders or server owners may want to use it.

I know this mod is outdated, but if you ever plan to update it, water wheels powered Blast furnaces in the medieval era. We don't have that yet in Vintage Story, but it would be cool if you made the blast furnace have a required windmill-powered bellows, like the Helve hammer
Would be nice to have some info of what it can process and not, such as is it only able to heat ingots or can it also heat crucibles ?
Does this furnace allow one to smelt iron ore inside? Looking for a late-game alternative to bloomeries.
How do I load it? Placing coke in it places it in front instead.
Can crucibles be put in it, to melt iron and steel?
Hey, this mod prevented me from using the time switch ability.
Would be cool to see a bellows-powered iron age smelting furnace where you can smelt iron, meteoric iron and glass in a simple crucible. maybe the bellows could be manual, with pelt and whatnot or automated with a rotating wind propeller like the one Primitive Technology made. its such a pain having to build bloomeries all the time, just make it cost like 10 iron plates so you have to at least go through some bloomeries first... Maybe it can be made from nickel plates or another highly heat resistant alloy so the furnace doesnt smelt itself lol. Or maybe some insulating coating can be made inside. There can be losses related to this type of furnace aswell, like needing to replace the insulating material inside it from time to time, a material that could maybe be made from items with little uses in-game and some renewable resources and also coal/coke, maybe the crucible used also gets shattered over time and needs to be replaced, etc.
With each passing day i grow closer to having a proper dwarfy smeltery
I wasn't quite expecting this mod to get nearly 200 downloads in only a few hours, so I figured I would upload the source code for anyone interested.

You don't have to credit me if you make anything with this, much of the code is modified from the base game anyway.
Also I made this mod with little effort so if there are any issues that's on me and my non-existent C# skills.
finally a good fucking furnace
