Smelting

The GUI for the blast furnace, same as the ordinary furnace's.

Template:Main

Blast furnaces are similar to furnaces, but can Minecraft:smelt only Minecraft:raw metal, Minecraft:ore blocks and Minecraft:tools/Minecraft:armor made of Minecraft:iron, Minecraft:gold, Minecraft:chainmail, or Minecraft:copper. Blast furnaces serve as the counterpart to Minecraft:smokers, which are used mainly to cook food faster. Smelting equipment yields one iron, gold or copper nugget from their respective materials. Once an Minecraft:item and a Minecraft:fuel are placed into the blast furnace, the block state changes to lit and the item is smelted twice as fast as a regular furnace. Fuel is also used at double the rate of regular furnaces, so the number of items smelted per fuel stays the same. The product can then be collected by Template:Control the output. Like normal Minecraft:furnaces, a Minecraft:hopper can be used to feed items into or collect items from a blast furnace.

Profession

Template:Main If a blast furnace has not been claimed by a Minecraft:villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to armorer and claim the blast furnace as their Minecraft:job site block.

Light source

Blast furnaces emit a Minecraft:light level of 13 when active, similar to normal Minecraft:furnaces.

Custom name

By default, the interface of a blast furnace is labeled "Blast Furnace", but this name can be customized by naming it in an Minecraft:anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the Template:Cmd command.Template:Only

Lock

Template:IN, a blast furnace can be "locked" by setting its lock tag using the Template:Cmd command. If a blast furnace's lock tag is not blank, the blast furnace 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 blast furnace at (0,64,0) so that the blast furnace cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Blast Furnace Key", use Template:Cmd.
