Smelting is a system that allows the player to modify items, such as cooking food and making glass.

Requirements

• Crafting a furnace

To cook, the player must use a furnace. A furnace can be crafted using 8 pieces of cobblestone on the crafting table. This method is similar to crafting a chest, simply swapping out the wood for cobblestones.

Other items that can be used for fuel include coal, some wooden items such as stick or wooden planks. Bamboo and lava can also be used as fuel. Certain fuel sources last longer than others. For example, a bucket of lava will light the furnace ten times more than coal.
