Blast Furnace
minecraft:blast_furnaceThe Blast Furnace is a specialized smelting block that processes ores, raw metals, and metal tools/armor twice as fast as a regular furnace, though it cannot smelt food or other non-metallic items. It emits light while lit and serves as an armorer villager's job site block.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Blast Furnace?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining without a pickaxe destroys the block with no drop.
How much faster does a Blast Furnace smelt than a furnace?
Twice as fast — 100 game ticks per item instead of 200 — but it uses fuel at twice the rate to match.
Can a Blast Furnace smelt food or wood?
No. It only accepts ores, raw metals, and metal tools/armor; use a regular furnace or smoker for other items.
Does a Blast Furnace give off light?
Yes, it emits light level 13 while actively smelting, similar to a lit furnace.
