<translate>

The '''crucible''' is a container used in {{ll|Casting|casting}} to smelt relatively low melting temperature {{ll|Metal|metals}} such as {{ll|Copper|copper}}, {{ll|Tin|tin}}, {{ll|Lead|lead}}, {{ll|Bronze|bronze alloys}}, {{ll|Nickel|nickel alloys}} and {{ll|Electrum|electrum}}.

A crucible is made from clay via {{ll|Clay forming|clay forming}}, and must be fired in a {{ll|Pit kiln|pit kiln}} before use.  

When the finished crucible is placed in the input slot of the {{ll|Firepit|firepit}}, the crucible GUI opens. {{ll|Mining|Ore nuggets}} to smelt can be placed into these four input slots. When the crucible is heated using {{ll|Fuel|fuel}} with a temperature above the ore melting point, the ores liquefy within the crucible. When the crucible moves to the firepit output slot, the crucible can be removed with {{ll|Tongs|tongs}} and the metal poured into an empty {{ll|Ingot mold|ingot mold}}, {{ll|Tool mold|tool mold}}, or {{ll|Anvil mold|anvil mold}}.

You cannot smelt {{ll|Ingot|ingots}} or unfinished work items directly in the crucible. In the crafting grid, you have to break them down to metal bits with a {{ll|Chisel|chisel}} placed in a slot above them. Those metal bits can fit inside the crucible.

*{{SneakClick|Placed}} and {{Using|picked up}} from a solid block as any pottery item. You can place 4 crucibles on one block.
