Tutorials/Automatic smelting

What you need (minimum):

 * 3 Chests
 * 3 Hopper
 * 1 Furnace

What you need to make the materials above (minimum):

 * 8 cobblestone
 * 15 iron ingots
 * 48 wooden planks

How to build an Semi-automatic furnace:

 * Step 1: Place down a chest on the ground. (This will be the chest in which the smelted / cooked items will be put)
 * Step 2: Crouch (hold down ) and attach a hopper to the chest (side or top is fine).
 * Step 3: Crouch and place the furnace on top of the hopper.
 * Step 4: Crouch and place 1 hopper on the top and 1 hopper on the left side (important) of the furnace. (The top one will insert the items into the furnace, which get smelted / cooked; The hopper on the left side inputs coal into the furnace)
 * Step 5: Crouch and place a chest on top of each hopper attached to the furnace.

Note: By using a hopper to empty the furnace, you will forfeit any experience points from the smelting.

Adding Switches
You may choose to add Switches to control the hoppers. Switching off the bottom hopper stops it from taking items out, allowing you to collect the experience from smelting them. Switching off the top hopper allows you to fill the top chest with various items, then eventually smelt them all in one go, reducing the fuel waste normally incurred by smelting partial stacks. The fuel hopper on the side need never be switched off.
