Minecraft: Crafting a furnace - how it works

As the name suggests, Minecraft is all about crafting. The smelting furnace plays an overriding role in this. Read how you can craft the item.

Time is money: a melting furnace works twice as fast as the normal furnace.

The melting furnace is an upgrade of the normal furnace. So you need to craft or own this one first.

This is how you craft a melting furnace in Minecraft

For the normal furnace you need 9x quarry stones, which you distribute in the build menu so that only the central slot remains free.

• For the melting furnace you then put the normal furnace in the central slot of the construction menu.
• To the left and right of it and in the whole top row you put iron ingots, so a total of five pieces.
• Fill up the bottom row with 3x Smooth stone.

As a result you get a melting furnace. This is a specialist, as he can only process objects made of iron or gold. However, he does this twice as fast as the normal furnace. The same applies to fuel consumption.Also, when placing the melting furnace, keep in mind that you can not move it. You can use a pickaxe to dismantle it.
