Ever wondered how to transform your raw materials into usable items in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Smelting is a key process, and we’re here to explain how to do it.

So, how do you smelt in Minecraft? Let’s dive in and turn those raw resources into something amazing!

Smelting 101: Turning Raw into Refined

To start smelting in Minecraft, you first need a furnace. You can craft a furnace using eight cobblestones, placing them in the crafting table’s grid, leaving the middle square empty. Once you have your furnace, place it wherever you’d like.

Next, open your furnace to see two slots. Place the item you want to smelt in the top slot. Then, you need fuel for the bottom slot. Wood, coal, or charcoal are great starters. Once you’ve loaded both slots, flames will appear, indicating that smelting has begun. Wait a bit, and voilà, your smelted item will appear in the box to the right.
