The bloomery is a functional block that can be used in the advanced stages of the game for melting materials such as glass and metals like iron that require very high temperatures, which cannot be obtained using the firepit. While the bloomery base and chimney are separate blocks they are useless on their own.
The bloomery is a functional block that can be used in the advanced stages of the game for smelting materials such as glass and metals like iron that require temperatures that cannot be obtained using the firepit. The bloomery base and chimney are separate blocks, and must be assembled as a unit to use.

[[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 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).

# '''Loading the bloomery''': Aim at the bloomery base and place the item, e.g. quartz, into the base (RMB). Be sure to add fuel as well. 'Sneaking' while loading items allows players to place multiple items (5) into the bloomery base.
