Follow this comprehensive step-by-step guide to obtain a Furnace in Minecraft and learn how to use it effectively.

In Minecraft, the Furnace is an essential item in your inventory. It is used to smelt metals like iron and copper, as well as to cook food and craft various materials. To craft a Furnace, you will first need a Crafting Table. In addition, you will need some fuel source, such as coal or wood, to use it. This article contains everything you need to know about the Furnace in Minecraft.
Ingredients Required To Craft Furnace in Minecraft

You can easily craft a Furnace in Minecraft using just two ingredients. Here are the items you will need:
- Crafting Table
- 8x Cobblestone
Here are the further details to obtain these ingredients:
- Crafting Table: If you do not have a Crafting Table, use the inventory crafting grid to turn wooden logs into wooden planks. Once you have the wooden planks, place them in the inventory grid to obtain a Crafting Table.
- Cobblestones: To collect cobblestones, you will need to dig up the ground to gather stone blocks. For this, a pickaxe is required. If you do not have a pickaxe, open the crafting grid and place three wooden planks in the first row, one stick in the center of the middle row, and another stick directly beneath it. Once you have the pickaxe, mine cobblestones from the gray stone blocks.
Once you obtain the ingredients, it is time to craft the Furnace in Minecraft.
