This is a small, effective furnace (All credit goes to Night_Triumph). Steps: Step one: Gathering materials As this is a small project, it doesn't require a couple thousand rupees to build, in fact I suggest mining for iron to get enough iron for more than on furnace. The raw materials included -12 wood logs -8 cobblestone -15 Iron That's it! Processed building blocks: -3 chests -3 hoppers -1 furnace Step 2: Setup The first step is placing a furnace, like this: Step two: Chest placement Place the chest one block above the furnace, to the bottom right, and the top right, like so: Step three: Hoppers, again like so NOTE: make the hoppers connect to the target, by Shift+RMOUSE on the target. the targets: Top chest: furnace Top right chest: furnace Furnace: bottom left chest. I hope this helped! Again, all credit to Night_Triumph, ask any questions! Put the fuel in top right chest, raw item in top, and it comes out the bottom! Pros: much larger fuel and materials input Cons: No XP from smelting.
It's best to use it with bulk smelting, and other that usually are smelted in bunches, like cobble, or sand
wow, thats a great idea... I'll use it on my plot XD which is basically an odd-job shop. btw: contact me if you need an odd-job done, like getting mterials, or flooring, etc.
Well thanks Lukas, you're right, I am breaking off my furnace build now.. Meh I didn't realise this earlier, and I've used it that much before that I've thrown away a few dozen of lvls :/
It's in the Pros and Cons, you won't get experience but it is a very good design to smelt things quickly.
What he said! Although the furnace is built to smelt lots, and does so smoothly, since they are so cheap I like setting up two or three to get the job done!
