How to make a Blast Furnace in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a blast furnace with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, the blast furnace is another important item in your inventory. A blast furnace is used to smelt items in the game, similar to a furnace. However, a blast furnace smelts twice as fast as a furnace! A blast furnace can be found in a Village in the Armorer’s house.

Required Materials to make a Blast Furnace
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a blast furnace:
How to craft a Blast Furnace in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Blast Furnace
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a blast furnace, place 5 iron ingot, 1 furnace and 3 smooth stone in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a blast furnace, it is important that the iron ingot, furnace and smooth stone are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 iron ingot. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 furnace in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 smooth stone. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a blast furnace.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the blast furnace will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Blast Furnace to Inventory
Once you have crafted a blast furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a blast furnace in Minecraft!
