It\u2019s more efficient than doing a few at a time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use multiple furnaces side-by-side if you\u2019re making lots for a big build.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you already have Stone from mining (with Silk Touch), you can skip step one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to craft a Blast Furnace with Smooth Stone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re getting into efficiency (or just smelting everything), this is a fun upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To craft a Blast Furnace, you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>5 \u00d7 Iron Ingots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 \u00d7 Smooth Stone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 \u00d7 Furnace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It smelts ores faster than a regular Furnace, which is great once you start mining seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The bigger picture: Minecraft is full of \u201chidden\u201d learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the fun part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you learn recipes like Smooth Stone, you\u2019re doing more than crafting. You\u2019re also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Following a process in the right order<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planning ahead (materials + fuel)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing, repeating, improving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building confidence through small wins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the same mindset that helps kids learn coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Minecraft is a brilliant place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Want to learn even more with Minecraft?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are reading this as a parent and your child loves Minecraft building , crafting, and experimenting, they\u2019ll usually love the next step too: creating their own mods and coding inside Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At FunTech, kids can go beyond \u201chow do I craft this?\u201d and start asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cHow do I make my own items, blocks, and worlds?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHow do I change what happens in the game?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHow do I build something no one else has?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer friendly, expert-led options including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Online Minecraft coding courses (great from home)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holiday tech camps and summer camps where kids learn loads, meet others, and build exciting projects all week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>If your child is Minecraft-mad, explore&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/funtech.co.uk\/kids-coding-camp-courses\">FunTech\u2019s Minecraft courses and camps<\/a>&nbsp;and help them level up from player to creator.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Keep me informed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be the first to know about\u00a0Flash and Early Bird Sales as well as new courses, summer locations and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/funtech.co.uk\/sign-up\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-weight: 700\" class=\"eltd-btn eltd-btn-large eltd-btn-solid btn btn-primary\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltd-btn-text\">KEEP ME INFORMED<\/span>\n    <i class=\"eltd-icon-font-awesome fa  \" ><\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smooth Stone is one of those blocks that makes everything look better.
