Blast Furnace

Usage
Blast furnaces function similar to a regular furnace. They have no proper UI, but do support hopper and dropper inputs and outputs. When a smelting item and a fuel is placed into the blast furnace using a hopper or dropper the block state will change to lit and the item will smelt. The product can then be collected using a hopper placed under the blast furnace.

Block entity
