Smart move is to build one of the mini super smelter( 3:09 ) for all 3 types of furnaces(so you won't watse a bunch of fuel lol) then you build the larger one( 3:43 ) right next to those 3 so you can use the mini super smelter to smelt smaller amounts of items and you can use the larger one if you want to smelt mass amounts of items
A little tip: for fuel alternatives to coal, consider using wooden slabs. Yes, really, slabs. They are better than charcoal for fuel as one log turned into slabs smelts 12 items, whereas if you turn the log into charcoal, you can only smelt 8 items, and must also consume fuel to make the charcoal in the first place. Also, wooden slabs are more suited to smelting small numbers of items like 1-4. Given that coal or charcoal can smelt 8 items, then using slabs as fuel means you waste less of the fuel smelting items, assuming you don't put in a multiple of 8. This is helpful early-mid game, particularly if you're low on coal. The only disadvantages are that slabs take up lots of space if you want to smelt lots of things, but then for volume smelting a better fuel such as coal blocks or lava buckets is preferable. Also slabs have to be manually crafted whereas something like kelp can be farmed and automatically harvested, but then by that point you probably already have plenty of other fuels already. Finally at the very start of the game, don't forget you can cook food without any fuel consumption using a campfire - again very useful at your starter base if you don't have much coal or want to use it sparingly.
@@hookedbycrafting5348 a hopper under the campfire will cure that, although you may have enough coal or slabs to just use a normal furnace by that point
4:30 do 9. If you want a good size system. Because you can smelt a whole shulker full of sand/stone/cobble at the same time. It’s honestly worth doing just the extra one
I love the snide remarks to spawned creatures like animals and wandering traders. So funny. Thanks for putting this out; I am enjoying this back to basics series, especially as a n00b player.
Very cool! I need this mixed with a forever lava farm, where somehow, it puts buckets of lava into the furnace for me. I have an iron farm already. I want to either build this and a lava farm next to the iron farm and connect them that way, or use a rail to bring iron from the iron farm to the lava and furnace farms. Anyway, I want all three connected and just running on their own. All I want to do is collect from the furnace to get the XP/mending and the smelted items with whatever tool needs mending at the time. Multiple furnaces would be great, but even just one is good enough for me, for now.
I typically build my super smelters with 27 furnaces. I find that perfect, especially if I'm using lava buckets for fuel, since thats the maximum a chest minecart can hold. It makes 1 pass use exactly that one chest load worth.
This is a simple version of the one I use on my worlds, I have a 4 portal gold farm, which filters the gold swords into my auto smelter, and when it detects that the chestcart is nearly full, or the loading chest is empty, the minecart goes off on its own. 100% automatic, but the design is kind of bulky, so I always tend to make it underground as I am not great at aesthetics and covering up redstone lol
Omg! This is a life saver! I was trying to make one of these but I couldn’t find out how to do the rails! This saved my life. You definitely deserve a pat on the back and a sub.
Nice, I appreciate the automatic minecart loaders - the basic principle of a supersmelter (hopper minecart over a line of smelters is simple, but automating the loading with redstone takes a bit more thought. It's really helpful if like me you don't haven't done as much of your own redstone, and also for people who are new.
Thank you for this simple video, honestly helps so much more than you know for me. Have been playing since only a couple years since minecraft came out... and its finally time to dip into redstone and automation, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it simple to understand for a beginner automator like me ❤❤❤
Bro, your videos are good, but you have too many moments where you have to change something in the design it messes people up that are trying to follow your tutorials maybe editing your video a little more will help
Hey Prowl! I’m so glad I found your channel, you’re a great teacher! Is there anyway I could use this with lava buckets instead of coal? Or wouldn’t it be OP fuel to use blaze rods with a blaze spawner farm to fuel it? Just didn’t know how to make a system that would detect a lava bucket and spit out the empty bucket while refilling the furnace with a new one. Food for thought!
I wouldn't use lava, as 1 lava bucket smells 100 items, and with a lot of furnaces, you likely would end up wasting 3/4 of your bucket. Blaze rods or kelp blocks are the way to go!
@@sethcurtis8431 Lucky you can make one. My nearest fortress is like 3000 blocks away. I generally just stick with kelp farms and use dried kelp blocks
I love the way you just "slapped together" some decorations for the last one. I'm getting better at designing builds and decorating them but I have a ways to go before I can do that. And yes, packed mud is soooooo cool 😁👍👍👍👍
Oh great detail to get the different cooking blocks into farms. I havnt really done a super smelter with smoker for food items I now have options on how hold them.Thank you!
This is brilliant! I have put two more chests next to the one you have and have used a redstone and dropper system underneath to load the side boxes first. Next I am going underneath it to build an item sorter to sort these items into another room full of boxes....the amount of hoppers I am going to need!
Love it! I made one that you have to go to the back and the fuel pours into 2 and then on top yoi place the items and they pour into 2. Stacked 4 of these doubles next to each other. I think this is better. 😀
I gave up on your kemp farm/flying machine chaos (my fault - I sank it in water 4 blocks and started college again with 3 children and 25 years since my last class) …but this looks fun to try Thanks. Keeping a new PC Thursday-so new Minecraft things to come. 10 years on Xbox and now Swith.
Follow up, I built this and it works really great! I even hooked it up to my sorting system. It's so satisfying watching my ingots fill up the chests with minimal effort on my part. Thanks for the video!
@@Toasty_10 I did the 4th one with the 2 minecarts, one for the fuel and one for the ore that stops when empty but with the switch so you can stop it as needed.
Just a tip for anyone who doesn’t know but the cooker furnace that cooks meat isn’t worth it as you can just make a campfire with 1 coal and smelt unlimited amount of food items
7:44 I think you can link a automated bamboo farm for fuel with a water flowing system on hopper facing a chest on a hopper facing the furnace. You'll have to wait for it to have a good amount of bamboo tho 😁😁😁
My favorite furnace array got patched out. It used a zero-tick bamboo farm to automatically fuel the furnaces. It would turn on when the last furnace on each side would go under 64 bamboo and water flowing over ice would keep the bamboo going. Collection was done using a pair of hopper minecarts with automatic return. I might try doing the same but with a large automatic bamboo farm into mass collection sending into a dropper with the same water distribution system.
Loved it. I would only introduce another level of improvement by adding a chest with a comparator to drop things off and this chest+hopper would power the cart
If you want to make the third one to where it can have a bunch of materials ready to smelt or so it can power them swap out the chest mine carts with hopper ones then put chests ( I recommend double chests)at a place you want them to refill at and put the respective materials in the chests and you should be golden
Could you use a comparator to start the cart when you add items? Instead of needing a button press, could you somehow have a comparator pick up that you've added items to have the cart automatically start moving without needing to even press a button? In my 13 years of playing Minecraft I still suck with reedstone so if this is a dumb question I apologize.
Yeah I've always just built the 24 to 32 furnace smelters cause I'm not sicraft here lol most of the time I just need a few stacks right now and can use those while the rest smelt
Just had an idea and i don’t know if you want it but instead of stopping the mine cart the way you have it how about making it have a loader so the mine cart stops anytime a chest has items in it to go into the smelter. I don’t know if this is possible on bedrock but I’ve seen Java players do it and just thought of it
First of all the rails require iron and gold and redstone which in the start we don't have that much less amount we will have in survival mode if u play in creative mode then it is possible to get as much as you want anything
If you only have levers (cobble plank and stick) you can make the 8 furnace one work with just 4 gold rails (6 from one craft). Place the gold rails at ends and power them, then use regular rails over all the hoppers. If you find a mine shaft all the rails are already crafted for you
This was incredibly expensive to make, I made the 24 furnace one but each row of 8 was a different furnace. After fully constructing it and powering it it dawned on me that I have to make 2 more seperate ones for different furnaces because mixing all 3 causes iron to go in smoker's and fish to go in blast furnaces. Very upsetting
I have a build where I want a chest minecart filled with items to go into the furnace enters from somewhere else goes to the line fo furnaces and stays on a closed track over the furnace till the cart is empty then it goes back out to where it was sent from. how would I get the cart to change from the open track to the closed circuit over the furnace and back to the open track??

@@thunderjumper7958 they do I tried this today u put the lava buckets on the fuel then they run through and then empty out and go to chest
Campfire cooks kelp. My only problem is i forget to collect the cooked food so i lose it
@@hookedbycrafting5348 a hopper under the campfire will cure that, although you may have enough coal or slabs to just use a normal furnace by that point
isnt the best fuel scaffolding still?bamboo and spider farm needed obviously but a lava farm is a good early game alternative

Hey Prowl, since you like to see the mine cart move, you can change out the corner bricks for iron bars or fences on the level of the furnaces.
