This is my first post. Apologies if there is anything I have missed. I did follow the instrusctions of how to make a post.
Whilst using version 'release 1.11.2-forge.1.11.2-13.20.0.2216', I tried to place a bowl into the fuel box of the furnace and it was not accepted. I checked that the resource pack (GoodTimesWithScar Texture Pack) was not the problem or either of my two mods (SimpleTeleporters-1.11.2-2.0.2 and XRay-48) by removing them before reloading the game and trying again.
However when I chose the release 1.11.2 version in my profile (no mods), the bowl was accepted in the furnace, which brought me to the conclusion that it may be an issue with Forge.
