If you are bored of cooking slow food in your furnace, it is time to upgrade to a smoker. Making a smoker in Minecraft is incredibly easy. You just need a furnace and a few planks. However, you will need to construct a furnace first if you do not have one. The smoker can be used to cook multiple kinds of meals. It cooks meat in less time compared to a furnace.
Let’s tell you how you can make a smoker from scratch without further delay.
Constituents
- Furnace – 1
- Wooden Planks – 4
Collecting the Ingredients
Everything you need to make a smoker in Minecraft is in the inventory. If you do not have any of these, you will need Cobblestones to create the furnace. Cobblestones can be obtained from strongholds and villages. You can also find them in jungle temples.
Preparation
Preparing the smoker requires placing the furnace and wooden planks in the 3×3 crafting grid. But what if you do not have a furnace? Let’s tell you how to create a furnace in Minecraft to make a smoker.
Preparing a Crafting Table
Firstly prepare a crafting table by converting three logs into wooden planks. Place the logs into the survival inventory grid to convert them into planks.
Preparing the Pixcake
The pixcake is essential to gather cobblestones for the furnace. To make a pixcake, you need to create sticks. You can craft sticks by placing two wooden blocks on top of each other in the grid.
Place planks in all three boxes of the top row.
Add the sticks to the two boxes of the middle row under the plank.
Move the pixcake to the inventory.
Now you can use this pixcake to gather cobblestones.
Preparing the Furnace
When you have collected your cobblestones from the sources mentioned above using the pixcake, it’s time to create the furnace.
Place the cobblestones in eight boxes leaving the middle one empty. The furnace will appear in the box on the right side.
