version :BetterFurnacesReforged-1.18.2-1.2
Forge 40.1.47
When placing an Extreme Forge the top of the block orients towards the player instead of the front of the Forge facing the player


.

I don't see a problem with that, the orientation was programmed that way, to be the opposite of the player's orientation, and the normal for the forge is the up state, which has the top side oriented up and the front facing towards the player, think of it as a log of wood
