How to Make a Smelter in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to turn your raw materials into usable items in Minecraft? Well, you’re likely thinking about how to create a smelter, also known as a furnace, in the game. This guide is here to help!
Let’s dive into the steps for making a smelter in Minecraft, a crucial tool for any budding constructor or adventurer.
Quick Guide to Crafting a Smelter
To start, you’ll need to gather 8 cobblestones. These are pretty common and can be found just about anywhere in the Minecraft world. Once you’ve got your cobblestones, open your crafting table. If you don’t have a crafting table yet, you only need 4 wooden planks to create one.
Place the 8 cobblestones in the outer slots of the crafting grid, leaving the center slot empty. Voila! You’ve just crafted a furnace, or smelter, as it’s sometimes called. This new tool will allow you to melt down ores and cook food, making your Minecraft life a bit easier.
