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 / data merge block 0 64 0. 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. In Java Edition, a blast furnace can be "locked" by setting its Lock tag using the / data command. If a village has a blast furnace that has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby villager who hasn't chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to armorer.īlast furnaces emit a light level of 13 when active, similar to normal furnaces.īy default, the GUI of a blast furnace is labeled "Blast Furnace", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the / data command. Lock Like normal furnaces, a hopper can be used to feed items into a blast furnace and can also pick up items from it. The product can then be collected by using the output. Fuel is also used at double the rate of regular furnaces, so the number of items smelted per fuel stays the same. Once an item and a 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.

Smelting equipment yields one iron or gold nugget from their respective materials. Blast furnaces serve as the counterpart to smokers, which are used mainly to cook food faster. Blast furnaces are similar to furnaces, but can smelt only raw ore, ore blocks and tools/ armor made of iron, gold or chainmail.
