Primary roleFast ore smelting
RedstoneComparator and hoppers
How to obtain
The recipe uses a furnace, five iron ingots, and three smooth stone blocks. It also generates as an armorer workstation in villages.
How it works
It runs twice as fast as a furnace but accepts only ores, raw metals, and eligible metal equipment. Fuel is consumed at the same doubled rate.
Where to use it
It is valuable at mining bases and in automated ore-processing lines. It does not replace a furnace for stone, glass, or food.
Practical tips
Filter incoming items so invalid materials cannot stall the line. Account for lower experience per unit of operating time.
