How to Smelt Iron in Minecraft

Have you been wandering the vast world of Minecraft and stumbled upon some iron ore, but now you’re scratching your head, wondering how to turn it into something useful? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!

So, let’s dive straight into the burning question: how do you smelt iron in Minecraft? It’s simpler than you might think, and once you’ve got it down, you’ll be crafting all sorts of metallic goodies!

The Quick Answer: Using a Furnace

To smelt iron in Minecraft, you’ll need a furnace. Don’t have one yet? No worries! You can easily make a furnace using eight cobblestones, which you can gather by mining stone with a pickaxe. Place your cobblestones in the crafting table, leaving the middle square empty, and voila – you’ve got yourself a furnace.

Next up, place your furnace somewhere handy and right-click on it to open the smelting menu. You’ll see two slots. Put your iron ore in the top slot and some fuel (like wood, coal, or charcoal) in the bottom slot. The furnace will then do its magic, turning your iron ore into an iron ingot. This process takes a little time, so be patient!
