Natural generation
Blast furnaces can generate in all village variant armorer houses.[Java Edition only]
Usage
Blasting
Blast furnaces are used to smelt mineral blocks twice as fast as a regular furnace.[Java Edition only] 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. 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.
