MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod: Refurbished

Overview

MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod: Refurbished completely rebuilds the classic furniture mod from scratch for modern Minecraft. It adds over 250 unique blocks and items spanning every room you could want in a Minecraft home: living rooms with Sofas and Televisions, kitchens packed with working appliances, bathrooms with Toilets and Bathtubs, offices with Computers, and outdoor areas with Grills, Trampolines, and Mailboxes.

What sets this mod apart from simple decoration packs is the electricity system. Many blocks require power from an Electricity Generator connected via a Wrench. This creates a satisfying loop of setting up infrastructure before your appliances come to life. The mod also introduces its own crafting station, the Workbench, where every piece of furniture is made.

You can browse all 495 items and blocks using the Items tab above, and check the Recipes tab for crafting details. This guide walks you through everything from your first Workbench to mastering the electricity grid, cooking system, and smart home automation.

The Electricity System

Electricity is the backbone of the mod. Without it, the Workbench cannot craft, the Television stays dark, the Microwave will not heat, and the Computer remains off. Understanding how it works will save you a lot of frustration.

Electricity Generators

The mod provides Light and Dark Generator variants (purely cosmetic difference). Each Generator has a single fuel slot that accepts any burnable item. Coal, Logs, Blaze Rods, and Lava Buckets all work. The Generator converts fuel burn time into power units at a configurable ratio of 16:1 by default. Flip the on/off switch after loading fuel to start producing power.

Each Generator supports up to 12 direct connections by default, and any individual node can have up to 6 connections. The entire network is capped at 64 nodes. If you exceed these limits, the Generator will overload and shut down. For large builds, use multiple Generators wired to separate zones.

Wiring with the Wrench

Hold the Wrench and yellow node indicators appear on all electricity-compatible blocks. Right-click one node, then right-click another to create a connection between them. Left-click an existing connection to break it. Nodes must be within 4.5 blocks of each other. You can chain connections through multiple blocks to extend your network's reach.

Powered Blocks

Every block that requires electricity has a powered/unpowered state visible in its block model. Appliances like the Toaster, Microwave, and Stove only consume power while actively processing items. Passive blocks like the Television, Ceiling Light, Ceiling Fan, and Lamp draw power whenever they are switched on. You can toggle most powered blocks using a Lightswitch or the Computer's Home Control app.

The Kitchen

The kitchen is the most feature-rich room in the mod, with eight unique appliances that each serve a different purpose. All kitchen appliances come in Light and Dark variants, and the Cabinetry, Drawers, Sinks, and Storage Cabinets are available in all 10 Wood types and 16 Dye colors, giving you enormous flexibility in kitchen design.

Stove

The Stove is the workhorse of the kitchen. It has 3 independent cooking slots, each processing items separately. It needs electricity and supports both the mod's custom Oven Baking recipes and vanilla cooking recipes. The Stove also functions as a heating source for the Frying Pan placed on top of it, and it can produce Sea Salt from Water Buckets and bake Pizzas. Connect a Range Hood above it for a complete kitchen aesthetic.

Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a gravity-affected block that must sit on top of a powered Stove to function. Place a raw food item on it and it will begin cooking the first side. Halfway through the cooking time, you need to flip the food using a Spatula (right-click with the Spatula equipped). After the second side finishes, the cooked result appears. This is the only way to make Jams: place Sweet Berries or Glow Berries on the Frying Pan, cook both sides, and you get Sweet Berry Jam or Glow Berry Jam respectively.

Microwave

The Microwave has a single input slot and processes items using Microwave Heating recipes. It requires electricity and plays a running sound while cooking. Quick and simple, it is ideal for reheating food or processing specific items the Stove cannot handle.

Toaster

The Toaster accepts 2 input items simultaneously and runs on electricity. Its primary use is turning Bread Slices into Toast and converting Cheese Sandwiches into Cheese Toasties (grilled cheese). Toast can then be combined with Sweet Berry Jam or Glow Berry Jam to create Jam Toast, one of the best food items the mod offers.

Cutting Board

Available in all 10 Wood types, the Cutting Board uses the Knife tool (Stone tier, 256 durability) for two types of recipes. Slicing recipes cut a single item into pieces, such as Bread into Bread Slices or a cooked Pizza into Pizza Slices. Combining recipes merge up to 5 ingredients into a new item, which is how you make Pizzas, Cheese Sandwiches, and Dough.

Kitchen Sink

The Kitchen Sink can be filled with Water by right-clicking it. Right-click with a Bucket to scoop out Water, effectively giving you an infinite Water source without needing a traditional 2x2 Water pool. Available in all Wood types and Dye colors to match your kitchen palette.

Food and Cooking

The mod adds an entire food pipeline with unique ingredients and multi-step recipes. Here is a breakdown of how the key food items connect together.

Bread Pipeline

Start by using the Cutting Board and Knife to slice Bread into Bread Slices (nutrition 1, saturation 0.2). Put Bread Slices in the Toaster to get Toast (nutrition 1, saturation 0.3). Then combine Toast with Sweet Berry Jam or Glow Berry Jam to create Jam Toast (nutrition 6, saturation 0.6), which is an excellent early-game food source.

Cheese and Sandwich Pipeline

Cheese (nutrition 2, saturation 0.6) is a standalone food and also a crafting ingredient. Use the Cutting Board to combine ingredients into a Cheese Sandwich (nutrition 6, saturation 0.5). Pop the Cheese Sandwich into the Toaster to produce a Cheese Toastie (nutrition 6, saturation 0.7), the best sandwich variant.

Pizza Pipeline

Making Pizza is a multi-step process. First, create Wheat Flour from Wheat on the Cutting Board. Combine Wheat Flour with Water to make Dough. Use the Cutting Board to assemble Dough with toppings into a Raw Vegetable Pizza or Raw Meatlovers Pizza. Cook the raw Pizza on the Stove or in the Oven to get a Cooked Pizza. Finally, slice the Cooked Pizza on the Cutting Board with the Knife to get individual slices. Vegetable Pizza Slices provide nutrition 5 and saturation 0.8. Meatlovers Pizza Slices are the premium option at nutrition 8 and saturation 0.8, plus they grant a Haste effect for 5 seconds.

Storage and Refrigeration

Fridge and Freezer

The Fridge provides 3 rows of storage (27 slots) with door opening and closing animations and sound effects. It comes in Light and Dark variants and requires electricity to operate. The Freezer pairs with the Fridge and has the same 27-slot capacity. The Freezer's unique feature is its Solidifying recipes: place a Water Bucket inside and it freezes into Ice, Ice becomes Packed Ice, and Packed Ice becomes Blue Ice. This makes the Freezer invaluable for building projects that need ice blocks.

Drawers, Cabinets, and Storage Jars

Standard Drawers provide 9 slots of storage and come in all 10 Wood types. Kitchen Drawers and Kitchen Cabinets are available in 10 Wood types plus 16 Dye colors (26 variants each). Kitchen Cabinets offer a full 27 slots. The Storage Jar holds 18 items and works with a simple right-click to insert, left-click to extract system, perfect for a Cookie Jar or ingredient storage.

Cooler and Crate

The Cooler is a portable 9-slot container available in all 16 Dye colors with lid sounds. The Crate offers another 9 slots of simple wooden storage. Both are great for outdoor setups or temporary storage.

Electronics

Television

The Television is one of the most entertaining blocks in the mod. It requires electricity and offers 12 channels including Ocean Sunset, Dance Music, Villager News, a Pong game, Block Game, Heart Screensaver, Silly Face, and more. During thunderstorms the signal gets disrupted, cycling through Color Test, Herobrine, and Black Noise until the weather clears. You can change channels by interacting directly or by using a Television Remote from a distance, just point at the TV and right-click.

Computer

The Computer requires electricity and comes with four built-in apps. Paddle Ball is a playable Pong variant where you can challenge a bot or another player. The Home Control app is the standout feature, letting you remotely toggle any powered device on the same electrical network. This means you can turn off Lamps, switch on the Stove, or activate the Ceiling Fan all from your desk. The Marketplace and Coin Miner apps are placeholders for future content and do not function yet.

Ceiling Fan, Ceiling Light, and Lamp

The Ceiling Fan spins when powered, providing a visual effect. The Ceiling Light mounts to the ceiling and provides light level 15 when powered. The Lamp is a floor-standing light available in all 16 Dye colors, also outputting light level 15. All three can be toggled via Lightswitches or the Computer's Home Control app, making them part of the smart home ecosystem.

Lightswitch and Doorbell

The Lightswitch toggles nearby light blocks on and off with a right-click. It implements the Home Control interface, so it can also be controlled from the Computer. The Doorbell triggers a chime sound when activated, alerting nearby players to visitors.

Living Room and Bedroom

Sofas

Sofas come in all 16 Dye colors and automatically connect to adjacent Sofas to form larger seating arrangements. A single Sofa is a standalone seat, but placing them side by side creates Left, Middle, Right, and Corner variants automatically. You can sit on any Sofa piece. This makes it easy to build L-shaped couches or long benches.

Tables, Chairs, and Desks

Tables and Chairs are available in all 10 Wood types (Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Crimson, and Warped). Chairs can be sat on by right-clicking them. Desks also come in all Wood types and serve as work surfaces. Stools are simple single-block seats available in all 16 Dye colors, perfect for bar counters or kitchen islands.

Plates

Plates are decorative blocks that work similarly to Item Frames but fit better on Tables and countertops. Place items on them to display food or decorations. They come in multiple variants to match your furniture.

Bathroom

The bathroom features three functional fixtures, each available in Wood types and all 16 Dye colors.

Toilet, Basin, and Bathtub

The Toilet lets you sit on it and flush it. The Basin (bathroom sink) can be filled with Water by right-clicking and emptied with a Bucket, holding about 1 bucket of capacity. The Bathtub holds significantly more at 10 buckets of Water capacity and can be filled and emptied the same way. Both the Basin and Bathtub serve as functional Water sources when full.

Outdoor Furniture

Grill

The Grill is a fuel-powered cooking station that does not require electricity, making it perfect for outdoor use. It has 9 fuel slots and 4 cooking slots that work independently. Use a Hopper to load fuel (Coal is ideal), then place up to 4 pieces of cookable food on top. Remember to flip the food with a Spatula to prevent burning. The Grill supports the mod's custom recipes and vanilla campfire recipes, and it drops experience orbs when food finishes cooking. Available in all 16 Dye colors.

Trampoline

The Trampoline bounces entities upward with a maximum height of 8 blocks by default. Placing multiple Trampolines together increases the bounce power: a single Trampoline gives about 40% of max height, while a full 3x3 grid of Trampolines provides 100% bounce height. Timing your jumps correctly while already bouncing triggers a super bounce for even greater height. This is a genuinely useful way to reach high places, not just a toy.

Hedges, Stepping Stones, and Lattice Fences

Hedges are dense foliage blocks available in all Leaf types (Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, plus Nether and Warped variants). They can be stacked vertically for tall hedge walls. Stepping Stones come in multiple Stone variants including Diorite, Granite, Andesite, Blackstone, Basalt, and Deepslate, providing attractive garden paths. Lattice Fences are decorative open-work fences with functional gates, available in metal variants.

Mail System

The mod includes a complete mail delivery system for multiplayer servers. Each player can place a Mailbox, which provides 3 to 6 rows of storage (configurable in the server config). Mailboxes are tied to a unique UUID and can be renamed. Other players send items using a Post Box, which has 6 slots for packages. They package items, write a custom message, and send them to the recipient's Mailbox. The delivery system routes mail automatically between Post Boxes and Mailboxes.

Certain items are banned from delivery for balance purposes (configurable by server admins). This system is particularly useful on community servers where players want to trade or share items without meeting in person.

Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin (or Trash Can) is one of the most underrated blocks in the mod. It has 3 input slots and requires electricity. Drop unwanted items into it and they are converted into experience points at a rate of 0.05 XP per item by default. The Recycle Bin stores up to 5 experience levels (55 XP) before it needs to be emptied. Right-click with an empty hand to collect the stored experience as orbs. This turns junk items like excess Cobblestone, Dirt, or mob drops into useful XP, making it a practical utility block for any base.

Tools

The mod adds three specialized tools, each serving a distinct purpose in the furniture ecosystem.

Wrench

The Wrench is a non-stacking utility tool used exclusively for managing the electricity network. It reveals node connection points on powered blocks and allows you to create or break connections by right-clicking and left-clicking respectively. It has a range of 4.5 blocks in Survival and 5.0 blocks in Creative.

Spatula

The Spatula has Wood-tier stats with 256 durability. Its primary use is flipping food on the Frying Pan and managing items on the Grill. Without it, your food will burn. Keep one in your kitchen at all times.

Knife

The Knife has Stone-tier stats with 256 durability. It is used with the Cutting Board for slicing and combining recipes. Each use costs 1 durability, so you will go through several Knives if you do a lot of food preparation.

Decoration Tips

With 10 Wood types and 16 Dye colors available across most furniture categories, the mod supports a huge range of interior design styles. Kitchen blocks (Cabinetry, Drawers, Sinks, Storage Cabinets) are available in all 26 combined variants, so you can create a kitchen that matches any build palette. Sofas, Stools, Lamps, Coolers, and Grills all support the 16 Dye colors, while Tables, Chairs, Desks, and standard Drawers use the 10 Wood types.

The Door Mat is a unique decorative block with a custom renderer. Hedges connect visually to adjacent Hedge blocks, creating seamless garden walls. Stepping Stones are lower than a full block, creating natural-looking garden paths. The Lattice Fence and Gate pair provides an elegant alternative to vanilla Fences for garden boundaries and entryways.

Configuration

The mod has extensive server-side configuration for balancing the electricity system, appliance behavior, and mail features. Key settings include the maximum links per Generator (default 12), maximum nodes per network (default 64), fuel-to-power ratio (default 16), and the powerable area radius (default 80 blocks). The Recycle Bin's XP rate (default 0.05 per item) and max level storage (default 5 levels) can be adjusted. There is a "free generator power" cheat option for Creative-focused servers. The Trampoline's max bounce height is configurable (default 8 blocks). Kitchen Sink holds 3 buckets, Basin holds 1, and Bath holds 10. The Television's thunderstorm interference can be toggled, and the Mailbox inventory rows range from 1 to 6.
