To form the item, you need to fill the empty blue voxels with metal and remove metal from orange voxels by moving the metal from its current "ingot" shape into the shape of your selected item. Press 'F' with a [[Hammer|hammer]] in your hand to change the tool mode and move metal in different directions. If your work item cools down too much you will need to reheat it on the forge.
To smith the selected item, the metal from voxels within the current "ingot" shape must be moved into the finished item shape using the [[Hammer|hammer]]. Hitting the work item with the hammer in different modes allows the player to fill the empty blue voxels with metal and remove metal from filled orange voxels. Pressing 'F' with a [[Hammer|hammer]] in the active hand allows the player to change the tool mode. If the work item cools down too much, the item will need to be reheated in the forge. If there is not enough metal to fill all the blue voxels while forging an item material can be added by placing another heated ingot on top of the work item.
 
If you run out of metal while forging an item you will need to add another ingot. Place another heated ingot on top of the work item to add material.
