Once I get done cooking this iron I’m gonna smelt this meat. Makes sense… 😑

[@duirsage381]

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.

[@Theonewhocaptions]

You're right

[@andrewmeilinger6203]

Yup

[@illusionistphantom]

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.

protip for smelting, setup a lava-cauldron-dripstone setup next to your furnaces and never have to worry about fuel ever again.

[@dannypipewrench533]

Or build a kelp exploit machine. That is how I do it.

[@Stici205]

​@@dannypipewrench533what's that?

[@Stray7]

@@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

[@Stici205]

@@Stray7 oh okay thanks cause i needed some xp before building a golf farm 👍

[@ljxk3l31]

what about iron to bucket it

[@TBSxDRUMS]

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...

[@GSFBlade]

Same here :)

[@superkev1099]

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.

[@TBSxDRUMS]

@@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!

[@Stray7]

@@superkev1099 You can also put a switch on the furnace itself to lock it from dropping into the hopper a similar effect.

[@thomasaitken7495]

@@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!

[@jonnyblaze2692]

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.

[@th3goldenlady]

Yooo another guide! Love your vids you’re the definition of quality content! Keep up the amazing work ❤

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

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.

[@AwkwardBirb]

I’ve been playing Minecraft for longer than I care to think about or admit, but you always manage to teach me something new!

[@yourcraft000]

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

[@Malabaz001]

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!!!

[@skyrim2972]

Really good video keep it up 👍

[@thoxik5077]

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

[@Swirl_of_StarFire]

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

[@pyroparagon8945]

Is there much use to do that now that lava is farmable? It's a better fuel and much earlier game.

[@Swirl_of_StarFire]

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

[@pyroparagon8945]

@@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]

@@pyroparagon8945Agreed. I do that almost anywhere we put furnaces. Endless fuel.

[@pyroparagon8945]

@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.

[@patrickissa]

[@riley5748]

I was literally about to look this up on KZbin then your vid popped up in my sub box 😂🔥

[@alexlee9719]

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.

[@bluekirby6120]

This was a very helpful video even for Minecraft veterans. I sure did not know all the fuel sources

[@jokkepokke95]

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.

[@DanDaFreakinMan]

12:20 Blaze rods are actually quite decent as a fuel source if you own a blaze farm in the Nether.

[@cringecentral751]

[@nekoprincess4130]

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.

[@AKA_Kira]

Some future stuff with the crafter may be using the crafter to turn bamboo to sticks and use that to fuel a furnace.

[@andrewmeilinger6203]

Yes. And auto crafting kelp blocks as well.

[@superkev1099]

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 .

[@MollyOKami]

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.

[@thomasaitken7495]

With Saplings, your better off trying to bone meal them. Bamboo works awesome if you let a farm build up an auto-smelt array. 😁

[@jamesmastro7256]

You taught me how to Minecraft again

[@krookedliptv9852]

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

[@davidii94]

Make a guide about commands blocks and structure blocks

[@KuDaemon]

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

So I occasionally play the phone version and don't always have a controller to sync with. So whenever I try to get my exp from selt items. I have to grab it one by one. Nice to know I can just brake it and get all my exp at once

[@dimaminiailo3723]

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!
