How to make a blast furnace in Minecraft

What is a blast furnace?

As we have said, this is one of the incredible novelties included in version 1.14 for Minecraft Java Edition, in a device that smelt ore into ingots.

Thanks to the blast furnace, we can use it not only to melt the ore into ingots but also to meet any part of the equipment and to get the raw ore so that we can reuse it later.

In addition, thanks to the blast furnace, we can work twice as fast as a typical furnace. This is ideal to be able to make several ingots in a short space of time.

Another notable feature is that each smelter in the blast furnace uses the same amount of fuel per item as is typically used in a typical furnace. This way, we will not have to look for additional coal blocks.

In short:

  • The blast furnace helps us to melt the ore into ingots.
  • The blast furnace can also be used to melt equipment into raw ore so we can reuse it later.
  • We can work twice as fast with the blast furnace as the regular furnace. In this way, we can make several ingots in a short space of time.
  • Smelting in a blast furnace will use the same amount of fuel per item compared to the average furnace; this will not be necessary to search for additional coal blocks.

How to make a blast furnace in Minecraft

These are all the ingredients and components you need to make a blast furnace in Minecraft:

  • One oven
  • Three smooth stones
  • Five iron ingots

How to make a normal oven in Minecraft

You can find a regular oven in a town or make it yourself. If you want to make the oven yourself, you need eight cobblestones.

How to make smooth stones in Minecraft

For this, we must use the regular oven we have already manufactured and insert a stone in the range. Then, we must wait for the stone to heat up to obtain a smooth stone. Remember that we need three smooth rocks to make the blast furnace.

How to make iron ingots in Minecraft

To make iron ingots you have three different procedures that we detail below:

  • First, you can use an iron block to construct nine iron ingots.
  • You can use nine iron nuggets to make an iron ingot.
  • Finally, you can melt one iron ore into one iron ingot.

How to make the Minecraft blast furnace

With all the previous ingredients, we can now make the Minecraft blast furnace.

We have to go to a work table by hand, including the ingredients of the standard oven, the three smooth stones, and the five iron ingots.

Now you will not have any excuse to know how to make a Minecraft blast furnace with all the necessary ingredients.
