Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Furnaces storing XP on Bedrock should stay in the game

Currently on Bedrock a furnace or furnace-family block will store it's XP from previously smelted/cooked items. In my opinion this brings an interesting source of XP into the game and is a very unique "farm". I strongly believe that this should become part of the Bedrock edition.

    This is how I've XP farmed for years now. It feels pointless to go back to mob grinding while fishing. You also need to find decent spawners or use a mob farm which also got updating out of simply using without afking at it. I don't know why you would want to take away an exploit that doesn't hurt anyone's gameplay? If you don't want to use it you don't have to. Minecraft isn't a competitive game

    100%!!!  The FIRST thing I build in the game is a furnace farm and start smelting for future use.  All other farms slow xp generation.  This makes armor significantly more complicated and expensive to build, the cost of enchanting a book to only get a lousy enchantment way more expensive, and makes mending enchantments almost useless.  I'm very frustrated with the game since this change occurred because suddenly my way of repairing my tools is gone.  If you're going to take this, have xp hit all equipment in inventory that need repair BEFORE giving you xp.  Having to select the item specifically when xp is now harder to come by is annoying at best.  Furthermore often XP won't be absorbed and just sits at my feet.  If you're going to fix a bug that benefits us, fix a bug that hurts us too.

    Thank you!

    Since the furnace bug was taken away and enchanting is hard for peaceful players on bedrock (no good ways to get xp quickly), perhaps instead of removing ALL XP when removing items, keep the balance and only release up to 1 level of XP at a time so that XP can be banked more and released as needed for mending or enchanting.  Breaking could still release all XP but silk touch would keep XP in furnace for later extraction. That way, peaceful players can set up a super smelter and would not be getting free XP, but can use the XP as needed for mending or enchanting rather than blowing it all at once.

    Storing xp in a furnace was the only way that most of us bedrock players got their xp. While we got many levels that brought us into the endgame of Minecraft and then we could explore the infinite possibilities that the game has to offer for us. Taking away our main xp source will slow down our game a lot, causing most of us to quit and stop playing. Almost everyone who plays bedrock loves getting to endgame as quick as possible so we could mess with our friends or just build anything that comes to mind. This makes the furnace xp farms crucial for our own enjoyment. Bedrock players looked at Java players with envy as they could get thousands of levels and could use their overpowered enderman farms and automatic fish farms. This just doesn’t seem fair and we want the furnace xp back. Most of us will not enjoy the game anymore and most of us wil turn away to other games after this. Mojang please bring this back.

    Yes keep this in the game as it makes the game fun to play if you have xp to use ,if xp is tedious and boring to obtain (which it now is ) it makes the game dull and gloomy and once you get past early game it’s becomes boring to play because of the lack of EXP

    If we wont ever be able to build on the nether roof then give us this at least! Nothing exploitive or broken about it.
