Create a Cooking Area That Showcases All Furnace Types

Plan Your Layout

Design a dedicated cooking zone with space for a standard Furnace, Blast Furnace, and Smoker. Arrange them in a line or cluster so visitors can easily compare their distinct 3D designs. Leave room to walk around each block and view them from different angles.

Build Supporting Structures

Construct a frame or counter around your furnaces using complementary blocks. This creates visual cohesion and makes the cooking area feel intentional. Use materials that match your base's style—wood for rustic areas, stone for industrial zones, or a mix for eclectic builds.

Add Functional Details

Place storage chests nearby to hold raw materials and finished products. Position hoppers or item frames to indicate what each furnace processes. Add decorative elements like barrels, cauldrons, or shelving to enhance the workspace atmosphere.

Demonstrate the Animations

Keep at least one furnace actively smelting to show off the animated fire textures. This draws attention to the 3D models and helps players appreciate the mod's visual improvements over flat vanilla blocks.
