FAQ

What tool do I need to break a furnace?

A pickaxe of any tier (wooden or better). Breaking it without a pickaxe drops nothing.

How much light does a furnace give off?

A furnace emits a light level of 13 while it is actively smelting, along with smoke and flame particles.

What can I use as fuel?

Coal, charcoal, wood, planks, lava buckets, and many other flammable items work; a single piece of coal smelts eight items.
