Getting Started
The vanilla furnace doesn't work here, so your first fire is a hole in the ground. Every furnace you build gets hotter than the last one and opens up new recipes.
Craft Earth Lining from dirt, dig a 1-block hole and use the lining on its floor. Burn sticks to fire clay into bricks and logs into charcoal. See Pit Kiln.
Fire enough clay for 6 brick blocks and stack them into a Clay Kiln. It takes any fuel and fires stone, glass and glazed terracotta. Don't overheat it: above 1200 °C it cracks. See Clay Kiln.
Bricks, a campfire and stone bricks (or smooth stone) make a Bloomery. Put ore and charcoal in together: you get your first iron, copper and gold. See Bloomery.
The Iron Furnace turns 3 ores into 4 ingots, and its bellows make every fuel burn 200 °C hotter. See Iron Furnace.
Obsidian, blaze powder and nether bricks make the Nether Forge, the only furnace that handles netherite. See Nether Forge.
- Every recipe has a minimum temperature. Below it, nothing happens, and a batch in progress slowly loses its progress.
- Fuel decides how hot it gets. Sticks can't melt iron, whatever the furnace. See Heat and Fuels.
- The fire lights itself. You don't need flint and steel. A furnace starts burning as soon as it has fuel it accepts and something it can cook, so it never wastes fuel on an empty load.
Every furnace screen has two side tabs:
- Heating (thermometer): the current temperature, how hot the fire gets, the furnace's limit, how hot each fuel gets and how worn the furnace is.
- Recipes (book): everything the furnace can make, the temperature it needs and the fuel it takes. Click a recipe to load one batch, or shift-click to load up to a stack.
The advancement tree also walks you through the ladder, and the next furnace shows up in your recipe book as soon as you have what it takes to build it.
