The '''bloomery''' is a functional block that can be used in the advanced stages of the game for smelting [[glass]] and [[metal]]s like [[iron]] that require temperatures that cannot be obtained using the [[firepit]]. It accepts most [[coal]] fuels, except brown coal, and boosts their temperature to be able to smelt quartz and iron ore.

The complete bloomery consists of two blocks: the base and the chimney. The separate bloomery blocks must be assembled as a unit to use. Crafting both blocks requires a total of 12 [[fire brick]]s and is carried out in the player's crafting grid:

[[File:Bloomery_with_items.png|right|200px]] [[File:Bloomery_ignited.png|right|200px]] Smelting items in a bloomery requires high temperature [[fuel]] and the desired item to process. A bloomery holds enough ore nuggets to make a maximum of 6 iron blooms (or other metal ingots) from 120 nuggets, or 12 glass blocks from 24 quartz, along with up to 6 pieces of fuel. The bloomery does not have to be completely filled to fire it, but both the ores to be smelted and the fuel to complete the smelting process must be added to start the process. The bloomery does not have a GUI. A player may read the description of the items currently in the bloomery by aiming the white crosshairs at the base block. The interface window should display any currently loaded contents when the block info GUI is enabled (press 'B', by default).   

# '''Firing the bloomery''': To ignite the bloomery and begin smelting, {{Using|use}} a [[torch]]/[[fire starter]] on the base. After a few seconds smoke particles should begin to rise from the chimney, and the hole in the base block will glow and spark.  

The bloomery accepts charcoal, bituminous (black) coal and anthracite - or generally any fuel that burns with at least 1200°C, for at least 30 seconds.

* Starting from version 1.12, the bloomery produces iron blooms, which must be heated and worked on an [[anvil]] with a [[hammer]] or [[helve hammer]] to produce iron ingots.
