Talk:Smelting

So, why was this moved from furnace and why isn't it then transcluded onto Furnace's page? --JonTheMon 12:38, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

A lot of people wanted a separate page to go on the home page under popular and useful links. For example the crafting table has its own page but not all the crafting recipes are on that page, they are on a separate page: The Crafting Page. Ecsport108 17:40, 22 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah I personally think it makes more sense to think of smelting as a mechanic and furnaces as a block. --Theothersteve7 17:53, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Animated furnace "arrows"
Quick suggestion, like for brewing... could we have animated "white arrows" in the smelting recipes? I don't know how to do it. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 22:25, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Baking vs Smelting and Furnace vs Oven
Although the process is the same, I think the process of cooking food in the Oven should be referred to as Baking, instead of Smelting. Same with using Oven instead of Furnace. This should be the style used in this wiki and on other pages as well. May need major name changing to reflect true/real-life names of the the things and the processes. - Asterick6 01:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Nowhere in-game is any reference made to baking or ovens, nor does Mojang refer to it as such. There is no reason to overcomplicate the subject by arbitrarily splitting it in this way when it's not supported by any official source. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:10, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
