Minecraft Ultimate Super Smelter Guide Wiki: Cook Items Instantly (2025) 🔥

Updated: Jan 2026 • Version: 1.21+ • Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐
⚡ Quick Summary: A Super Smelter uses Minecarts with Chests to distribute items evenly across many Furnaces (8, 16, or 32). This makes cooking 10 times faster.

Welcome Gamers to the Racing Raftaar Wiki! 🏭

We all have the same problem. You come back from mining with stacks of Iron Ore and Gold. You put them in a Furnace, and then... you wait. And wait.

Cooking 64 items in a normal furnace takes 10 minutes. That is too slow! What if I told you that you can cook 64 items in less than 1 minute?

The solution is the Super Smelter (Industrial Furnace). By using Redstone engineering, we can split the work between multiple furnaces. It's time to stop waiting and start building!

1. The Logic: How it Works (Diagram) 🧠

Before we build, look at this diagram. This is the most important part of the farm. Every single furnace in our array will look exactly like this cross-section.

Super Smelter Cross Section Diagram

Explanation:

  1. Top Hopper (Input): This is where the item you want to cook (e.g., Raw Iron) goes. It feeds into the top of the Furnace.
  2. Back Hopper (Fuel): This connects to the BACK of the Furnace. This is for Coal, Bamboo, or Lava.
  3. Bottom Hopper (Output): This pulls the cooked item (e.g., Iron Ingot) out of the furnace and sends it to your chest.

We will build 8 or 16 of these modules side-by-side.

2. Which Furnace is Best? 🔥

You can use different blocks depending on what you want to cook:

BlockBest ForSpeed
FurnaceEverything (Ores, Food, Cactus)Normal (10s)
Blast FurnaceOres & Armor ONLYFast (5s) ⚡
SmokerFood ONLYFast (5s) ⚡

Recommendation: Build a Normal Furnace array first because it can cook everything (Sand -> Glass, Cactus -> Dye).

3. Materials List 📦

For a standard 8-Furnace Array (easiest size), you need:

ItemQuantityUse
Furnaces8Cooking.
Hoppers243 per furnace.
Powered Rails~16Speedy delivery.
Minecart with Chest2Distribution.
Redstone Torch/LeverLotsPowering rails.
Building Blocks1 StackStructure.

You will need lots of Iron. Make sure your Iron Farm is running!

4. Step-by-Step Build Guide 🏗️

Step 1: The Output Line

Place a double chest. Connect a line of 8 Hoppers pointing into that chest. This is where your cooked items will go.

Step 2: The Furnaces

Place 8 Furnaces on top of the 8 Hoppers.

Step 3: The Input & Fuel Lines

Refer to the Diagram (Image 2) again.
1. Place Hoppers pointing into the BACK of each furnace (for Fuel).
2. Place Hoppers pointing into the TOP of each furnace (for Items).

Step 4: The Rails

Now we need to distribute items evenly. Place Powered Rails on top of the Input Hoppers and on top of the Fuel Hoppers.

Put a Minecart with Chest on each rail line. When these carts move back and forth, they will drop 1 item into each furnace. This ensures every furnace gets equal work.

5. XP Banking Trick 🟢

Did you know Furnaces store XP when they cook items? Normally, the hopper pulls the item out, and the XP stays inside.

  • Place a Lever on the front of each furnace.
  • When you pull the lever, it "locks" the bottom hopper.
  • The cooked item will stay in the furnace.
  • When you take that item out manually, you get ALL the stored XP at once!
💡 XP Combo: Smelt stacks of Cactus (from your Cactus Farm) into Green Dye. This gives tons of XP. Combine this with Mending armor from your Trading Hall to repair gear instantly.

6. Infinite Fuel System 🎋

Coal is good, but it runs out. The best fuel for a Super Smelter is:

  • Bamboo: Grows very fast. You can automate it just like our Sugar Cane Farm.
  • Lava Buckets: Use an Infinite Lava Dripstone farm. One bucket lasts 1000 seconds!
  • Dried Kelp Blocks: Very efficient if you have an Ocean Farm.
