Furnace in Minecraft: Smelting, XP Banks, and Upgrades

Quick answer: Use minecraft:furnace in Java Edition commands. Craft a furnace from eight cobblestone, blackstone, or cobbled deepslate; it smelts ores, cooks food, stores experience until you collect, and upgrades into blast furnaces and smokers.

Smelting basics everyone needs

Eight cobblestone in a ring makes the furnace, one of the first blocks every player crafts. Fuel goes in the bottom, input on top: coal and charcoal early, lava buckets and dried kelp blocks for volume, coal blocks for storage density.

The furnace smelts everything by default but slowly. Split your workload later: blast furnace for ores and metal gear, smoker for food, and keep the plain furnace for stone, glass, and clay.

  • Crafting: 8 cobblestone-family blocks in a ring.
  • Fuel: coal, charcoal, lava bucket, kelp blocks, blaze rods.
  • Variants: blast furnace for metals, smoker for food, both 2x speed.

The hidden XP bank

Every smelted item stores a fraction of experience inside the furnace, paid out only when a player removes items from the output slot by hand. Hoppers can pull items out without touching the stored XP.

This makes furnace arrays excellent experience banks: auto-smelt cactus, kelp, or cobblestone for weeks, then pull one item manually and collect the accumulated levels in one burst.
