[[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 ingots, from 120 nuggets, or 12 glass blocks, from 24 quartz, and 20 fuel items. 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 at the base block. The interface window should display any currently loaded contents, if not the block info GUI can be enabled by pressing 'B', by default.

# '''Loading the bloomery''': Aim at the bloomery base and place the item, e.g. quartz, into the base. Be sure to put in fuel as well. Crouching while loading items in allow you to place multiples of 5 items into the bloomery base.
# '''Loading the bloomery''': Aim at the bloomery base and place the item, e.g. quartz, into the base (RMB). Be sure to put in fuel as well. 'Sneaking' while loading items in allow players to place multiples of 5 items into the bloomery base.
# '''Firing the bloomery''': To ignite the bloomery and begin smelting, crouch and use a torch 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.

# '''Harvesting the bloomery''': After 10 hours the smelting process is completed, break the bloomery blocks to gather the product. Breaking the bloomery does not require a tool and will drop some fire bricks used in crafting another bloomery.
