One of the best known games worldwide is Minecraft. This game has been known to maintain over the years and continues to be one of the most popular options among users, who regularly search tricks with which to advance in a better way. It is a game in which there are all kinds of elements and functions, so there is always something new to learn.
This is the case with the blast furnace that we can use in the game. In Minecraft we have the possibility to craft a blast furnace, something that many of you probably know, have heard on occasion or even crafted in your account. But many do not know the way in which this is possible, so, we tell you below how it can be done.
What is a blast furnace and what is it for in Minecraft
In Minecraft, the blast furnace is a type of furnace intended for melt certain materials or objects. Thanks to this furnace it is possible to melt mineral resources, tools and pieces of armor, iron, gold and chain mail. To function it uses the same fuel as a normal oven, without changes in this regard (coal or elements that generate fire such as wood).
When using said blast furnace in the game, mineral resource blocks will be introduced, for example. The great advantage of this type of oven is that everything that is introduced into it melts twice as fast as in a normal oven. This allows you to work with large quantities of materials in very short periods of time, making it especially comfortable. Although it consumes a lot of fuel, since it needs twice as much fuel as a normal oven, in many cases at least.
Having a blast furnace in Minecraft will be of great help, since it allows us to work in a simple and fast way with materials that we will not be able to use in a normal oven or would take too long. So at a certain moment in the game it is necessary to have said oven to be able to advance in the best possible way.
Crafting a blast furnace in Minecraft
As with any object that we are going to build in the game, we are going to need a specific recipe, which will be what makes it possible for us to have a blast furnace as a result. We will put these objects on the Minecraft crafting table, so that we will obtain this type of specific oven. What materials do we need in this case?
- Five iron ingots.
- A normal oven.
- Three blocks of smooth stone.
We will have to place them on the crafting table and then we will obtain said blast furnace. The process itself is not complex, as you can see, so simply you have to make sure you have these materials, which can be precisely the most tedious part in this sense, being able to find all the objects we need, but if you already know how to move in the game, then this will not be a problem at any time.
Also, when using the crafting table in Minecraft it is important to make sure that we put the objects in the proper order, since this is how we will be able to obtain the blast furnace in question that we want to be able to use. Although it does not present too many problems, you can simply see that photo and thus know the way in which it will be possible to craft this oven in your account in the popular game.
Another way to have a blast furnace
The blast furnace came with Minecraft 1.14, in said update it was introduced. Users have the possibility to create it, as we have just seen, using various objects on the crafting table. Although the blast furnaces can also be obtained in the game without the need to manufacture them ourselves, although this option is less well known.
In the houses of the gunsmiths in the game, located in the villages these blast furnaces can be generated naturally, which will allow us to have one without having to look for the materials we need or having to build it ourselves. So it is presented as another option to consider when using one, since this method is really simple, although the frequency with which they appear naturally is not too high. It is also a matter of luck that we are going to be able to obtain one this way.
This is what makes it an option that may be less comfortable for some, but it should always be taken into account, since without the need to spend resources or have to search for them in the game, we can have a blast furnace in Minecraft, in order to melt all kinds of objects in a more efficient way than with a normal oven.
