Furnace Variation, The Kiln!

Because Sand and clay cannot be smelted in a blast furnace, much like cobblestone, I suggest a new kiln block which is made from basalt (credit to Samuel76FR for the idea of basalt) and can smelt stuff like cobblestone clay and sand and netherrack and all the other blocks that cannot get a special furnace. it would also smelt these items quicker. thank you for your time

Skootus shared this idea.

  It should be made from basalt ! It would give it a usage and let us have a really good texture for forges, ect

  This would be great especially considering how much I use stone brick and glass in my builds! Any minecraft devs reading this, we would love this.

  Could also be the only furnace to smelt netherite scrap

  I second the idea that it be the only furnace type block that can smelt ancient debris into scrap. We MUST have this block!

  yeah it would be great for making glass, bricks, terracotta, etc. and I agree with GONG BO-LIN It should also carbonize wood giving some nice dark textures of wood

  I would furthermore encourage that all ceramic materials be usable in such a kiln:

  Cobble ➡ Stone
  Stone ➡ Smooth Stone (includes sandstones and quartz, which are also smoothable by furnace)
  Stone Brick ➡ Cracked Stone Brick
  Netherrack ➡ Nether Brick
  Clay Blocks → Terracotta
  Dyed Terracotta → Glazed Terracotta

  I was just about to suggest a kiln! I always had a problem where my blast furnace smelts fast, but sand, clay, cobble, etc weren't able to be in the blast furnace! This NEEDS to be in Minecraft!

  I do really think there should be a furnace variant that will smelt stone type items faster than a regular furnace, and the kiln is a suitable name for this.
  However my idea of this would be a Brick Kiln (it would be a furnace textured with bricks) And it would be crafted by surrounding a regular furnace with 8 Bricks instead of basalt. This I think would be more consistent compared with the other furnace variants (smoker and blastfurnace) since they are able to be crafted early on in the game so this Kiln should also be relatively easy to get access to.

  I think it's a great idea. I think having it be made of brick would have it look more distinct, however.

  The kiln should be made like a blast furnace, but use basalt instead of iron and nether bricks instead of smooth stone. In real life, kilns are made from special bricks, and nether bricks would make sense for fire bricks, because they come from the nether. It could smelt these things faster:

  • Stone, sandstone, and quartz to smooth variants.
  • Cobbles to stone
  • Stone, blackstone and nether bricks to cracked  variants
  • Sand to glass
  • Clay to bricks/terracotta
  • Terracotta to glazed terracotta
  • Netherrack to nether bricks
  • Any new bricks to cracked variant
  • Any new stone to smooth variant.

  I think about kiln as an early game work station as blast furnace (that however able to smelt late game netherite) to build your house easier, so it can be made just from bricks and brick blocks in a pattern of blast furnace recipe.

  Yes please! But maybe it should be crafted using Bricks, since those blocks are seldomly used in Crafting recipes.

  It could also be another type of workstation for Mason villagers, adding more uniqueness

  This is a good idea, Ive been burning a ton of netherack recently trying to build a nether base but it feels like such a grind. this would make cooking more common building materials easier and more fuel efficient.

  Still somewhat sad we cant make smelted blocks faster, even in the blast furnace. Smelting stone bricks in bulk is painfully slow compared to ores and food smelting with their specialized furnaces.

  Please Minecraft devs, this would be perfect for the Archaeology system and the Caves and Cliffs update. We need a way to speed up smelting the stone, and sand, blocks for new materials.
