so yesterday i was crafting some stuff and i started getting a headache from switching from crafting table, to furnace, to chest, back to crafting table, then the furnace to get the smelted iron out then to the chest to get some gold and an apple then to the crafting table exetera. and in between each of them i had to change my vision slightly, which is quite tireing espesialy when you do all of that in less then 50/60 seconds. so i though of somethings that would help
crafting chest: a chest and a crafting table mixed together. It operates like a chest in that it when open showes the chests holding space. But it also has options (just like the player inventorie has the option to craft repair change armor and see negative affects) at the top of the chest that reads “Craft” and the 2nd one says “chest” when you hit the crafting button it switches to the crafting table feature. The crafting table is as big as the chests inventory and is compleate whith every crafting recipe. The crafting chests adds your items with the items in the chest while crafting so you dont need to put items in the chest to craft with them.
hopper furnace: the hopper furnace works without the hopper as is required for minecraft. The furnace is crafted with 1 chest 1 furnace and 7 iron. The furnace can hold 6 stacks of items to be smelted and 6 stacks of fuel it can also hold 6 stacks of smelted ores. The furnace would be useful when smelting large amounts of resources and will also save space and time.
Redstone furnace: this furnace can smelt ores in a 3rd of the time required to smelt ores or blocks.This furnace is crafted with 2 redstone repeaters, 1 redstone compariter, 1 redstone torch, a furnace, and 4 redstone dust. The furnace looks and holds the same amount of items as a normal furnace but smelts ores very fast and has a small glow and emits redstone particles.
Compact furnace: 6 furnace slots and 6 fuel slots this furnace can smelt 6 different ores or food at the same time. Crafted with 6 furnaces, 1 chest, an 2 redstone compariters. Allows a player to put 6 stacks of any resorce into the furnace and smelt it. Each smelting stack uses the fuel slot directly underneath it and will not smelt if there is not fuel under it.
Why not just add blast furnaces and smokers? thats what minecraft has
ik but these ar cooler and would help more than those. arnt you tired of useing a bucket of lava to smelt 64 things instead of the 100 that it can smelt? with the hopper furnace you can use the lava for it main use
I really need a way to smelt faster
You could just set up multiple furnaces near each other, then split your item stack into each furnace.
For example if you had 64 ore, you could set up four furnaces and only put 16 ore in each one, this makes the smelting process ×4 quicker.
As each individual furnace has less items that they would have to smelt, you could speed up the rate of smelting significantly.
If you really wanted to speed up your smelting to the extreme, you could set up 64 furnaces, and only put one ore in each, this would speed up the smelting process by ×64.
but then yo need to go into 64 furnaces that would take multiple minutes to do that but opening 1 furnace is very easy
if only one of these furnaces was added and i could choose which one i would take the hopper furnace. because if that was made i could smelt lots of resorces with lava and would not need to use 100s of coal. lava is very easy to get when you live right next to a lava stream. you can get hundereds of buckets of lava from one stream but they are lost smelting 64 stacks unless the person is whaching them
we need hoppers for automated systems
they would be nice but they would require very advanced mexinisims because currently even water dose not move items. so have a block that can move items to different locations will be very advanced and take alot of work to create. however for hopper furnaces all you need is to extend the fuel slots, the smelting slots and the smelted slots. put them in 2 rows of 3 for instance
New ideas!
Thank you, I will write this down in user requests and the developers will discuss it.
Have a nice day!
