The Campfire
Created with logs and sticks, the
campfire is your first source of heat. It must be lit using a
Fire Bow or Flint and Steel. You can place a Frying Pan on it to cook food more efficiently.
The Kiln
The
Kiln is used for 'firing' materials. It is essential for producing Charcoal, which serves as a primary fuel source since coal ore cannot be mined early on. Upgrading to an
Obsidian Kiln increases smelting speed.
The Smelter
Smelters are used exclusively for ores. Unlike vanilla, smelting ores in Better Beginnings requires Gravel as a flux.
- Iron/Gold: Requires 1 Gravel
- Diamond/Advanced Ores: Requires 3 Gravel
Ender Smelter: An end-game upgrade that processes ores even faster
