Practice Smelting and Basic Crafting in the Tutorial
Locating Furnaces and Crafting Stations
The tutorial village includes pre-built furnaces and crafting areas within the stone buildings. These stations are ready to use immediately—look for furnace blocks inside the houses near the spawn area. Having access to these facilities lets you process raw materials without building your own.
Smelting Ores and Raw Materials
1. Collect raw ore blocks from the surrounding terrain using a pickaxe
2. Gather fuel (wood or coal) from trees or starter chests
3. Place ore in the furnace's top slot and fuel in the bottom slot
4.
5. Collect the refined ingots from the furnace output
Crafting Improved Gear
Once you have smelted ingots, use the crafting table to create better tools and armor. Start with basic pickaxes and axes, then progress to armor as you gather more materials. The tutorial map's peaceful starting environment gives you time to practice these fundamental crafting recipes before facing real challenges.
