Quick Answer: Crafting a Blast Furnace
To make a blast furnace, you’ll need 5 iron ingots, 1 furnace, and 3 smooth stone. It’s a simple yet specific recipe.
First, gather your materials. Mine for iron ore, smelt it into iron ingots using a regular furnace, and cook cobblestone twice to get smooth stone. Once you have all your materials, open your crafting table. Place the furnace in the middle slot, the iron ingots in all four cardinal directions (top, bottom, left, right) around the furnace, and the smooth stone in the remaining slots at the bottom row. Voilà, you’ve crafted a blast furnace!
