How To Make A Tinkers Construct Smeltery

Okay, picture this: you're knee-deep in a blocky, pixelated world, right? You've got this hankering for the fanciest tools around, tools that even your grandma would be impressed by. The secret? The Tinker's Construct smeltery!

Digging Up the Dream

First, you’ll be needing some clay, a lot of sand, and some gravel. Hunt down a river or lake, because you’ll find it all along the shores. Get ready for a bit of a swim!

Throw those materials into a crafting table and boom! You've got yourself a casting table and casting basin ready to go. These are the unsung heroes that will shape your molten dreams into reality.

Firing Up the Imagination

You need to create the structure of your smeltery out of smeltery controller, smeltery brick, and smeltery drain. Think of it as building a tiny, blocky furnace fit for a giant (or at least, a giant made of pixels). Now, make sure you've got enough space and don't build it in your living room, trust me on this one.

Next you are going to need to build the base out of smeltery bricks. You can make it any size you want, just so long as the controller is touching one of the faces. Remember to leave a spot for the drain!

Add your smeltery drain to one of the walls. This is where the liquid gold (or copper, or aluminum... the possibilities are endless!) will flow out. It's like a tiny digital tap for liquid metal!

Fueling the Fire (and the Fun!)

To get this bad boy running you’ll need some fuel. Lava is the classic choice; it burns hotter than your uncle's chili. Coal blocks also work nicely, if you're feeling less volcanic.

Lava is the best fuel for your smeltery. Fill up a bucket and then pour it into the smeltery via the controller. Remember that lava will not destroy items that are dropped into it within the smeltery.

Now, throw in your ores, the copper and iron. Watch them turn into molten goo, it is as if you are a master chef cooking up the finest ingot soup imaginable.

The Molten Masterpiece

Tap the drain, and watch your metal flow into the casting basin or table! Prepare to witness the birth of your very own ingots or tool parts.

With the casting table you’ll be able to create the parts you need to make your dream tools. Grab a tool forge to put those parts together!

Don’t forget the heart-stopping moment when you realize you've built the smeltery a little too small. Remember, there’s always room for improvement (and more blocks!).

A Few Smeltery Secrets

Ever wondered what happens if you throw in something... unexpected? Let's just say some items melt down into things you wouldn't believe! It is a bit like a box of chocolates.

Pro tip: don't try melting down your boots. It will only make you sad. Stick to ores and other smeltable goodies.

And that’s it! You've built your very own Tinker's Construct smeltery. Go forth and create tools that would make even the ancient blacksmiths jealous.
