Also used to craft glass panes, glass bottles, stained glass, end crystals, daylight detectors, and beacons.

It has the same idea as crafting: a player supplies acceptable ingredients, and receives a corresponding output.

Raw food items can also be cooked using a campfire (without giving experience), while smokers and blast furnaces can smelt certain types of items twice as fast as usual at the cost of being unable to smelt any other items.

The furnace begins to smelt on its own and continues to work if the menu is closed and the player leaves.

The player can tell whether a furnace is working or not by seeing if the furnace is lit and the fire particle effects are appearing or not.

When the furnace begins to smelt, it consumes one piece of fuel and the fire gauge fills.

Once a piece of fuel begins burning, it cannot be stopped, unless the furnace is broken.

While the piece of fuel burns, the fire gauge slowly decreases until it is gone, and the process repeats with the next piece of fuel.

When all fuel is exhausted with material remaining in the input slot, the furnace stops, and the item is not smelted.

If the input material is exhausted with fuel remaining, the fire gauge continues decreasing, wasting the remaining burn time left for the piece of fuel being burned, but no further fuel is burned if the input slot remains empty.

When it completes, the smelted item is added into the output field.

If the furnace runs out of fuel before the arrow is filled up, then the input is not smelted and the process rewinds at double speed.

If the player sleeps in a bed while a furnace is smelting items, the furnaces progress remains the same as if the bed had not been used and no additional time had passed.

This is because when a player sleeps in a bed, no time actually passes; the game simply sets the time of day to morning.

However, in Bedrock Edition, the game does not allow all of the experience to be dropped with a single draw from the output slot, though continued draws continue to yield experience orbs until all the experience has been collected.

For the allowed recipes, they smelt items twice as fast as a regular furnace, but also use fuel twice as fast, so the same amount of fuel still smelts the same number of items.

Ores include both metal and gem ores, as well as ancient debris.

The end result is what counts; chorus fruit is not included (because the result is not edible), but kelp is (because dried kelp is, even though raw kelp isnt).

To do so, the player must use a lit campfire, with any of the food items listed in the Recipes section in their hand.

Fuel is not required; the campfire is able to cook items infinitely on its own.

Smelting an item takes 30 seconds, three times the amount of time it would take if a furnace were used instead.

However, as a campfire can hold up to four items and cook them all at once, it can potentially take 10 seconds less than what it would take for a furnace to cook 4 of said items.

Once the campfire has finished cooking an item, it emerges from the campfire as an item entity.
