The '''bloomery''' is a functional block that can be used in the advanced stages of the game for smelting [[glass]] and [[metal|metals]] 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.

''Note: You will recover 6&ndash;12 bricks when breaking the bloomery (9 average). Expect to spend 3 bricks per bloomery run for large-scale operations.''

|While the bloomery holds 20 fuel items, not all are needed to fuel the maximum amount for iron blooms or glass. Since Version 1.12.10 however, the bloomery will automatically keep you from inputting more fuel items then are actually needed. This way, inputting as much fuel as the bloomery will take ensures a successful smelting process while not wasting any fuel.

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).
