The smelting is a fundamental system that gives players the ability to modify items and materials in a variety of ways. Through smelting, players can transform and process different objects, such as cooking raw food, obtaining metal ingots from ores, and melting sand to create glass.

The smelting takes place in a furnace, which is a special block designed to heat and process the materials. To use the oven, players must place it in their game world and then interact with it. When doing so, an interface opens that shows two spaces: one to place the materials to be melted and another to obtain the results.

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.

Fuel

Cooking also requires fuel. One of the easiest fuels to obtain is charcoal because it is made by smelting wood, which doesn't require much mining other than the cobblestone used to make the furnace. 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 longer than coal.
