Blast Furnace in Minecraft: Double-Speed Ore Smelting

Quick answer: Use minecraft:blast_furnace in Java Edition commands. Craft it from a furnace, five iron ingots, and three smooth stone; it smelts ores, raw metals, and metal gear twice as fast as a normal furnace and employs armorers.

Crafting and what it smelts

Combine one furnace with five iron ingots and three smooth stone to make a blast furnace. It handles ore blocks, raw iron, gold, and copper, and metal tools and armor for recycling, all at double furnace speed while consuming fuel at double rate.

Food, stone, sand, and other non-metal recipes do not work in a blast furnace; keep a regular furnace or smoker for those. The sweet spot is an ore-processing line fed by hoppers from your mining trips.

Crafting: 1 furnace + 5 iron ingots + 3 smooth stone.
Smelts ores and metal items only, at 2x speed.
Fuel burns 2x as fast, so total fuel per item is unchanged.

Experience banking and the armorer

A blast furnace stores smelting experience until you manually remove an item, then pays it out in one burst. Hopper-fed auto-smelters use this as an XP bank: smelt stacks of ore with hoppers, then pull one item by hand to cash in.

As a job site block it creates armorer villagers, whose trades supply iron armor, shields, and eventually diamond armor for emeralds, making the blast furnace valuable in trading halls too.

For metals, yes: it smelts at double speed with the same fuel cost per item. For anything non-metallic it does nothing, so most bases run a blast furnace for ores alongside a furnace or smoker for the rest.

How do you get the XP out of a blast furnace?

Remove a smelted item from the output slot by hand. All stored smelting experience pays out at once, even if hoppers moved previous items out automatically, which is why furnace arrays make good XP banks.
