How to make blast furnace in Minecraft

To kickstart your crafting quest, you’ll need to gather the following materials:

  • 5 Iron Ingots: Obtained by smelting iron ore blocks mined with a stone pickaxe or better.
  • 1 Furnace: Crafted with 8 cobblestone blocks, leaving the center of the crafting grid empty.
  • 3 Smooth Stone: Created by smelting stone blocks, which are themselves made by smelting cobblestone blocks.

With your materials at the ready, follow these steps to assemble your Blast Furnace in the game:

  1. Open your crafting table to access the 3×3 crafting grid, a canvas for your creativity.
  2. Place the Furnace squarely in the center slot, the heart of your Blast Furnace.
  3. Arrange the 5 Iron Ingots in a “U” shape around the Furnace, ensuring each corner and the bottom center slot of the grid is filled.
  4. Lay the 3 Smooth Stone across the bottom row, setting the foundation of your furnace’s structure.

This configuration will magically transform into a Blast Furnace. Drag it into your inventory, and voilà, you’re now equipped with one of Minecraft’s most efficient smelting tools. 

The Blast Furnace is not only twice as fast as a regular furnace but also a testament to your crafting prowess. Remember, this powerful tool is reserved for ores and metallic items, so plan your smelting activities accordingly.
