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.

Block entity

A blast furnace has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

  • Block entity data
    • Tags common to all block entities
    •  BurnTime: Number of ticks left before the current fuel runs out.
    •  CookTime: Number of ticks the item has been smelting for. The item finishes smelting when this value reaches 200 (10 seconds). Is reset to 0 if BurnTime reaches 0.
    •  CookTimeTotal: Number of ticks It takes for the item to be smelted.
    •  CustomName: Optional. The name of this container in JSON text component, which appears in its GUI where the default name ordinarily appears.
    •  Items: List of items in this container.
      • : An item in the blast furnace, including the slot tag:
        Slot 0: The item(s) being smelted.
        Slot 1: The item(s) to use as the next fuel source.
        Slot 2: The item(s) in the result slot.
        • Tags common to all items
    •  Lock: Optional. When not blank, prevents the container from being opened unless the opener is holding an item whose name matches this string.
    •  RecipesUsed: Recipes that have been used since the last time a recipe result item was manually removed from the GUI. Used to calculate experience given to the player when taking out the resulting item.
      •  recipe ID: How many times this specific recipe has been used. The recipe ID is the identifier of the smelting recipe, as a resource location, as used in the /recipe command.
