### 2. Add Items to make a Blast Furnace

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a blast furnace, place 5 iron ingot, 1 furnace and 3 smooth stone in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a blast furnace, it is important that the iron ingot, furnace and smooth stone are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 iron ingot. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 furnace in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 smooth stone. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a blast furnace.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the blast furnace will appear in the box to the right.

### 3. Move the Blast Furnace to Inventory

Once you have crafted a blast furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
