Blast Furnace

Blast furnaces are blocks used to smelt ores and smeltable armor and tools.

Obtaining
Blast furnaces can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Natural generation
Blast furnaces can generate in all village variant armorer houses.

Usage
Blast furnaces cannot be pushed by pistons.

Blasting
Blast furnaces are used to smelt mineral blocks twice as fast as a regular furnace resulting in half the experience. When a smelting item and a fuel is placed into the blast furnace the block state will change to lit and the item will smelt. The product can then be collected. Its interface can be opened by on it.

Like normal furnaces, a hopper can be fed into a blast furnace and can also pick up items from it.

Light source
Blast furnaces emit a light level of 13 when active, similar to normal furnaces.

Custom name
By default, the GUI of a furnace is labeled "Blast Furnace", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the  tag using the  command.
