Unlike Minecraft, Terraria takes a different approach to crafting. When players have the items needed to craft an item, they will pop up in the crafting list. The crafting list will update when standing near workstations, like a Furnace or Workbench. Workstations like the Furnace are critical, allowing players to craft armor, weapons, and other valuable items.

While a Furnace has to offer, players do not know how to craft the workstation. Fortunately, this guide will elaborate on how to make a Furnace in Terraria and other helpful tidbits.

How to Make a Furnace in Terraria

Furnace Showcase

Players must gather the following resources to make a Furnace:

  • 20 Stone Blocks
  • 4 Wood
  • 3 Torches

Players can get the required resources by mining stones, cutting down trees, and crafting torches with gel and wood. Once the necessary resources have been gathered, here is what players need to do to make a Furnace:

  1. Head to the Work Bench.
  2. Use the Work Bench to make a Furnace in the Crafting Menu.
  3. Double-click/tap the Furnace icon.

Players are recommended to place the Furnace near the Work Bench for maximum efficiency when using different Crafting Stations.

After making a Furnace, players can smelt ores, upgrade armor, tools, and so on.

Types of Furnaces in Terraria

Terraria, Furnace and Hellforge

Players can craft any one of the following Furnaces in Terraria:

  1. Standard Furnace – Perfect for smelting Mediumcore and Softcore ores.
  2. Hellforge – It is an upgraded form of the Standard Furnace that can only be found in the Ruined Houses in the Underworld.
  3. Titanium or Adamantite Forge – These are the best forges that can craft every item in Terraria and are identical in functionality.
  4. Lihzahrd Furnace – This Furnace can’t smelt ores, can only craft Lihzahrd Furniture, and can be found in Lihzahrd Chests in the Jungle Temple.
  5. Glass Kiln – A furnace that can craft glass-themed furniture and nothing else.

When it comes to the best Furnace in Terraria, that would be the Titanium or Adamantite Forge without question. As mentioned earlier, they are identical in function and can smelt all end-game materials players may find.

It is worth noting Furnaces are constantly lit, meaning players do not need to maintain them by fuel for them to continue working. When the player is near the Furnace, they can access their inventory to start crafting.

Terraria is available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS, Android, and PC.
