I don't remember you bringing this up, but you can smelt off gold netherrack to get a full gold ingot, as opposed to get a max of 8 nuggets with fortune.
Actually the max amount of nuggets with Fortune 3 you can get is around 24. But on average it's still way better to smelt the gold ore with Silk touch.
I didn't know you could crack bricks in a furnace. I've been playing for a while now but these guides are really informative, I've learned several things watching your videos, keep up the good work!
I'm getting back into Minecraft after a LONG break. These videos have been very useful. Last I really played before 2023 was back when rabbits were just added. Opened up to the new update, creating a brand new world. Immediately came across a rabbit, then a killer rabbit that killed me. Closed Minecraft and finally opened it again last year
@@camwyn256 don't worry they removed the killer rabbit for that reason. there are still regular rabbits. man you're gonna love it there's a lot of great stuff. welcome back my friend.

@@Stici205 It's a kelp farm where the output is fed into a furnace. The furnace cooks the kelp into dried kelp, which you can then turn into dried kelp blocks. It's not 100% automated (you have to turn the dried kelp into kelp blocks manually) but it's a great way of making a mostly self-sustaining fuel farm. With 1.21 and the autocrafter table, it should be possible to make a 100% self-sufficient kelp block farm
I learned 3 things: getting water from sponges, smelting nether bricks to get a cracked variant, and that furnaces store XP inside them. I thought having a hopper with a furnace just took away the XP since you're not physically grabbing the items from the furnace yourself. Now I have to go breaking some furnaces in my world lol...
Put a redstone switch under the output hopper so you can pause the hopper, take the item out to get xp then switch it back to release the items, save breaking and replacing the furnace.
@@superkev1099 Based on how I personally use furnace hoppers, I’d likely benefit more from breaking them, but that’s a good tip for probably most cases!
@@superkev1099 For my array, I have it broken into 3 sections. And each section has a switch which powers a set of repeaters that lock the hoppers under the smelters. Works great. Goes back along the glass, then down an into the repeaters. Even got a redstone lamp to remind me if it's on or not. Love it!
Love that you're starting to post more frequently... Looking forward to your 1.21 content. Appreciate the fact you called out the slab difference in bedrock. Watched a video yesterday that didn't mention that, so basically java specific but the creator didn't specify their advice was for java only.
Instead of going and breaking every furnace in your super smelters, you can attach a switch to all of them and then go and throw at least one item in each to cook, and then flip the switch down and it will lock the furnace from being able to receive anything or deposit the smelted item. When you then go to take the item out, all of the stored xp comes with it.
I actually do use blaze rods for fuel. I've never needed more than half a stack of them for other uses in my worlds, and they're an easy to acquire renewable fuel if you build a blaze farm
@@Swirl_of_StarFire if you have an iron farm (like most probably do), dripstone is so easy to come by that you can just have 20 cauldrons full of lava and as many buckets waiting as you want without even bothering with the nether.
@MGiosparky I usually dig a little ways down so you can't hear the lava on the surface (I do this with most noisy farms) but I don't know what I'd do without my 14 cauldron setup. Such a good farm for being so simple.
thank you for another great video eyecraftmc, you inspired me to finally implement a smelting system in my newest world. i hope more people watch your videos because you are very knowledgeable and a good role model imo
I learned a few things from this so it's only fair I impart some missing knowledge too. Instead of breaking your hopper furnace and interrupting its cycle, add a lever anywhere on the furnace. Flicking it will stop the furnace from outputting into the hopper, letting you wait for an item to finish smelting so you can take it and withdraw all the stored XP. Flicking it again makes it continue to output into the hopper.
I you want the experience stored in an auto-smelter set-up without mining the furnace, you can turn off any hoppers removing items from the smelter (the simplest way is a lever right next to the hopper), wait for an item to be left in the "finished" spot in the smelter, and grab that to get the stored experience. In older versions it's possible to grab items from the smelter before the hopper snags them, but at least since Cliffs and Caves hoppers grab items too quickly to do this.
Grabbing the items out of the furnace yourself defeats the purpose of having the hopper system in the first place. Also, Duh. Also also, it's not that hard to replace your furnaces, lol.
@@michaelguevara5808Here's why you might want to grab items direct from the smelter at least on occasion: "If you want the experience stored in an auto-smelter set-up..." -me 5 months ago. If you don't want the experience, don't do this. At least have intelligent criticism if you're chiming in on a months-old thread.
17:49 if you have an automatic furnace, just put a lever in front of the hopper below the furnace so that the things you smelt stay in the furnace. Then smelt even just one thing and when you pick it up from the furnace you will get all of the xp stored inside the furnace. I smelt 5 stacks of copper and then took every xp by smelting a single iron ore
Early game had a zombie farm converting them to drowned , got copper, all the metal armour and weapons stored up then disenchanted anything with enchants which you get xp and then smelted them which gave more xp 😊. Also put a redstone switch under the output hopper so you could easily pause it ,take the item out to get xp and then let it continue .
You can also Shift Right-Click a furnace or its variants with lever in a auto Furnace, turning the lever off will stop it funneling the completed items and allow you to take the completed item to obtain all the stored exp without breaking it.
Returning to minecraft after 8 years, your guides are my absolute favorite to view. Extremely efficient, no time wasting, and relaxing editing. Thank you for these guides
Whenever I set up a new mine, I always build a doubled automatic blast furnace for ores and doubled automatic standard furnace to smelt cobbles for xp and stone for bricks etc. Also got a lava farm for infinite fuel.
Quick tip if you're using bamboo as your fuel source: the most efficient use of bamboo for smelting it to turn it into bamboo blocks and turn those into bamboo planks. (Feel free to check my math there)
I learned the one about the water from sponges way back in 1.8 when I used a lava bucket to dry my sponges. Imagine my surprise when I went back with a replacement lava bucket to find one full of water.
Hey Eye great vid mate keep it up I never knew that you can smelt sponge and put a bucket once it's smelting and you get water totally new to me keep it up eye love you!!!
wow i didn't know that you get iron nuggets from chain armor,thatnks for the infomation,now my dubble chest full of chain armor will finally have a use
Alternatively to the hopper campfire. Place a carpet on top of the campfire, this will prevent you from accidently stepping in it, and will prevent your items from "exploding" off it. Making them instead appear on top of the carpet
Whenever I've upgraded my wooden tools to stone (+), I continue to use my wood tools until just before they break & then use them to cook something, usually wood to charcoal.
Idk if you say this but i recently found out slabs are an excellent early game fuel they provide an average of 5 more smelts per log than charcoal when you factor in the cooking of the charcoal itself, 4 per log if you don't. Plus you can convert logs into slabs almost instantly without taking up furnace space
Cacti are the best. Get an autofarm, and you'll be awarded with 1 xp per item. The God Particle was created this way, just to be mentioned. Also, kelp is very convenient for fuel. I use lava sometimes, but one stack of kelp blocks is worth slightly less than 13 buckets of lava (7 buckets minus fuel for the kelp itself). Thanks for the tutorial!
Never knew you could make cracked bricks thats neat but you dont have to vreak the furnace every time to get the xp just put a lever on it and let it keep collecting and when you want the xp flip the lever and then collect one item from it and you recieve all the xp it has stored then just flip the lever back and let it keep smelting. This is how i run my kelp farm for infinite fuel and quick xp for mending repair tools and armor
I made an auto smelter and I smelt tons and tons of netherrack and then just collect the xp once every while. I use lava buckets as fuel since its in the nether and super easy to almost infinite lava
Tree pieces instad of planks used to cook more than it, 2 wood could burn/bake 3 items compared to planks wich only could burn 1 or 1 and a half if I recall correctly, but version 1.6.4
I'm here to understand - I've always used charcoal, but should I look for lava or dried kelp block? I never would have thought that lava was a good fuel....
I use bamboo but I might swap to bamboo half slabs once the auto crafter is out. I've got all my bamboo being harvested and then shoved inside shulkers and then those shoulders go to shulker unloaders that feed my 100 furnace array with bamboo via water streams

Make sure you use the grindstone to take off the enchantments off tools or armor before you smelt them!
Why? Just for the exp?
@@pyroparagon8945yes

One advantage of campfires I didn't hear mentioned is the 0 fuel cost once set up.
good tutorial man
also very random but if you are gonna use a ton of bamboo for fuel, just convert it to sticks before so its a lot more condensed
Even better, convert it to bamboo planks for even more efficiency!
I always use jukeboxes to smelt my silk touched diamond block!

Is there much use to do that now that lava is farmable? It's a better fuel and much earlier game.
The use is that I never bother to build a lava farm, and gathering blaze rods is technically faster than waiting for lava to gather

Yooo another guide! Love your vids you’re the definition of quality content! Keep up the amazing work ❤
13:00, PLEASE DO NOT convert logs into planks for fuel, if you used them for fuel, make charcoal instead.
It depends on the quantity of items to be smelted, some players tend to cook 1 or 2 with a coal
Convert a log into planks to cook 6 charcoal
these guide videos have helped me so much, thank you a billion times ❤

@@ItsMrBozToYou If you want experience, it's better to just break the furnaces as they store XP, as opposed to denying the auto-smelter it's purpose.
Because replacing the smelter after it falls into the hoppers is *totally* faster and less annoying than... a lever. I'll keep that in mind.

There is one exception to smelting ore blocks though, you should smelt gold blocks from the nether because it will guarentee 1 gold ingot
