Stop Fuel Waste is a small quality-of-life mod that keeps fueled workstations from burning resources for no reason. Instead of letting a forge or campfire keep consuming fuel after it has nothing left to do, the mod checks whether the station can actually continue working and shuts it off automatically if not.
It targets common waste scenarios: when crafting is complete, when the output slot is blocked or full, or when a forge's material storage is already full and smelting cannot continue. Two config options, StopWhenCraftOutputBlocked and StopWhenForgeMaterialFull, let players choose whether to enforce this stricter behavior or keep the vanilla-style burning while items are still queued.
This mod is aimed at players who want a tidier, more efficient base without babysitting their crafting stations. It's a simple tweak for anyone tired of finding their fuel supply drained by a forge or furnace that kept running long after it finished its job.
