How to Make Blast Furnace in Minecraft

Craft a Blast Furnace from 5 Iron Ingots, 1 Furnace, and 3 Smooth Stone. It smelts ores and metal tools twice as fast as a regular furnace.

You'll need

  • 5× Iron Ingot
  • 1× Furnace
  • 3× Smooth Stone

Station / tools

  • Crafting Table

Yields: 1 Blast Furnace

Step by step

  1. 1

    Make Smooth Stone

    Smelt Stone a second time to get Smooth Stone — you need 3 for the recipe.

  2. 2

    Arrange the recipe

    Top row: 3 Iron Ingots. Middle row: Iron, Furnace, Iron. Bottom row: 3 Smooth Stone.

Tips

  • A Blast Furnace only smelts ores, metal tools, and armor — not food. Use a Smoker for food.
  • Placing a Blast Furnace in a village turns an unemployed villager into an Armorer.

FAQ

Is a Blast Furnace faster than a Furnace?

Yes — it smelts ore, metal tools, and armor in half the time, but it can't cook food.
