Bellows - A Way to Speed Up Furnaces

bellows are an odd idea i had thought of to make furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers work faster, not too much of course, but slightly faster for those whom who choose to make bellows... or find them.

 

Introduction To Them

bellows are a completely solid, single block you place in the direction of a furnace, blast furnace or smoker by about 1 to 2 blocks away from it. you use your Place-Block button whilst looking at bellows directly to trigger them and then they release a small white cloud, similar to the campfire cloud and they speed up the process of cooking whatever is in the furnace, etc... by a small amount for a few seconds. (About 8 Seconds)

they also need a short crank up before activating again. which takes a second or two, otherwise, you will hear it whistle instead of making a loud wooooooossh sound.

 

What's The Point To Them?

Well, they are mostly a decorative block for the most part, with some functionality of course as listed in the introduction. its meant as more of a niche block for players to stumble upon in the occasional blacksmith's chest in a village or to make of your own. more for the fun of it.

 

However...

Don't let standing there get you down, bellows come with a twist to the functions, when a piston pushes the bellows from behind either forwards or backwards it cranks the bellows and activates it automatically so you don't have to stand there and use it to melt some sand into glass a bit faster.

 

Hopefully, an odd idea like this might be added in. One day.

    they could be a decoration block which can make furnaces work faster (when clicked) this does not save fuel, it simply lessens the wait (if you are willing to stand there and operate the bellows) also, it can change the direction a hopper's items flow.

    Actually could be really cool as a redstone item, could push mobs with air (only a block or two) and be automated if powered by a Redstone clock, or steam engine (using another post's idea of having copper next to a heat source and water source block to produce steam). That way it gives a mechanic and aesthetic, with early game and mid game changes. Very cool, any modders out there should make it for sure if Mojang doesn't.
