As long as you don't have your first pickaxe, your only way to reach ore smelting temperatures is by burning charcoal. To create charcoal craft an axe, chop down some trees and turn them into firewood. Dig out a small ditch on the ground and fill up the hole with firewood. Cover it up with non-combustible blocks, except for the one in the middle. Place a firepit there and quickly cover it up. After 18 ingame hours the pit will stop smoking and the firewood will have converted to charcoal. Your ditch can be of any shape, just be sure that all sides are covered up, i.e. you can also make pyramid shaped pile on the surface and cover it with dirt if you like. | As long as you don't have your first pickaxe, your only way to reach ore smelting temperatures is by burning charcoal.

'''Careful:''' After the fire pit is placed you have 15 seconds to completely cover up the pit, otherwise your firewood will burn down to ash and not yield any charcoal, thus it is recommended to have all sides covered before placing the fire pit. | '''Careful:''' After the fire pit is placed you have 15 seconds to completely cover up the pit, otherwise your firewood will burn down to ash and not yield any charcoal, thus it is recommended to have all sides covered before placing the fire pit. | ||
