It’s time to abandon charcoal and opt for solar stoves.
Solar Cooker 1.19.2, 1.18.2, 1.17.1 and 1.16.5 is a mod that will allow us to build a solar stove to cook food without relying on charcoal. These solar stoves can increase their efficiency through the use of reflectors, being able to connect a maximum of four reflectors per solar stove.
The operation is similar to that of a smoker, only that instead of consuming charcoal to operate it requires sunlight to cook food. All the recipes of the smoker work in the solar stove, but they will need four times more time than the smoker to complete the cooking process.
If we want to cook food without using charcoal, but do not want to be limited to sunlight, we can upgrade the system with a diamond glowing block. This upgrade will allow us to use the solar stove at night, underground or in indoor areas where there is no sun.
