Quest Steps

Step 1

Learning how to smelt metals will help you make tools and metal parts. You'll want to dig for some ore to get started so gather resources to make a shovel.

Obtain 4 Wooden Sticks (0/4)
Obtain 2 Timber (0/2)

Step 2

Craft a wooden shovel. You'll need it to gather ore. Wooden shovels can be crafted in your inventory or at a crafting table.

You need some dirt and small stones to craft a furnace. Keep in mind that you can find small stones in dirt, so you may as well start shoveling!

Obtain 20 Dirt (0/20)
Obtain 18 Small Stone (0/18)

Step 7

So now you have some metal ore. Good job! Use the furnace to craft your first ingot. Furnaces operate like crafting tables except they require fuel and the fire can be lit and doused. Many different items can be burnt for fuel.
