A smoker is a block that smelts food twice as quickly as a furnace but cannot smelt anything else. It also serves as a butcher's job site block.

Obtaining

Breaking

A smoker can be picked up using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it does not drop itself.

Smokers drop their contents when broken.

Usage

Smokers cannot be pushed by pistons.‌

Smelting

The GUI for the smoker.

Main article: Smelting

Smokers are used to cook food items twice as fast as a regular furnace. It is the counterpart to the blast furnace, which is used to quickly smelt ores, metal tools and armor. When a food item and a fuel item are placed into the smoker, the block state changes to lit and the item cooks. Fuel is used at double the rate of regular furnaces, so the number of items cooked per fuel stays the same. The product can then be collected by pressing use on the smoker or by collecting the output using a hopper.

Smokers cannot cook chorus fruit, as popped chorus fruit is not edible.

Changing profession

If a village has a smoker that has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby villager who hasn't chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to butcher.

Light source

Smokers emit a light level of 13 when active, just like normal furnaces.

Custom name

By default, the interface of a smoker is labeled "Smoker", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the /data command‌.

Lock

In Java Edition, a smoker can be "locked" by setting its Lock tag using the /data command. If a smoker's Lock tag is not blank, the smoker cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item with the same name as the Lock tag's text. For example, to lock a smoker at (0,64,0) so that the smoker cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Smoker Key", use /data merge block 0 64 0 {Lock:"Smoker Key"}.

Note Blocks

Smoker can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

  •  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 smoker, 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: Which recipes 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.
