Crafting

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Blast Furnace	Iron Ingot + Nether Coal

Usage

Smelting

The blast furnace accepts Nether Coal and olivine as fuel. When active, it smelts items at twice the rate of a regular furnace. It shares most of its recipes with the furnace, except for the various cobblestones which yield different products when smelted in the blast furnace.

Most notably, the blast furnace produces enough heat to smelt iron ingots into crude steel, the main ingredient in making steel ingots and the backbone of the steel tier.
