Furnace XP Storage

Furnaces in MC 1.12.2 and before do not store XP. Instead, players get XP when they extract the smelted items out of the furnace.

Due to this behavior, breaking furnaces does not drop XP. And when you funnel out the output items with a hopper, you also do not get any XP.

This lightweight mod backports the behavior from Minecraft 1.13 and later, where furnaces store the XP from smelting inside the block. Breaking the furnace will spawn XP orbs. And even when funneling smelted items out of the furnace the smelted XP will stay inside the furnace. Players can extract that XP by locking the hopper and extracting one smelted item, or by simply breaking the furnace.
