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

Requirements

Crafting a furnace

In order to smelt, the player must use a furnace. A furnace can be crafted using 8 pieces of cobblestone in the crafting table. This method is similar to crafting a chest, in that the center crafting square is left empty.

Fuel

In order to smelt something, fuel is also needed. The most easily obtained fuel is charcoal because it is made very easily from smelting wood first, requiring not much mining, apart from the cobblestone used to make the furnace. Other items that can be used as fuel include regular coal. Some wooden items, such as sticks or wooden planks, can be used as a fuel also. Certain fuel sources last longer than others. For instance, a bucket of lava will power the furnace ten times longer than charcoal.

Recipes
