A furnace is a block with two functions: it can be used for either smelting or cooking, by placing fuel and an appropriate item inside together.

A furnace can be picked up using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it does not drop itself.

Furnaces drop their contents when broken, including XP from processed items that were extracted by hoppers.

Furnaces can be found in plains, and desert village weaponsmiths. Furnaces also generate in some houses in snowy village, and in one of the taiga and snowy taiga‌^{[BE only]} village houses. They can also generate in ancient cities and trail ruins, and one furnace generates in every igloo.

The lit furnace can be obtained in Java Edition only with commands such as /give @s minecraft:furnace[minecraft:block_state={lit:"true"}], although it does not appear lit in the inventory. In Bedrock Edition, the lit furnace block can be obtained only by inventory editing. It always stays lit, despite containing no items.

Furnaces cannot be pushed by pistons in Java Edition.

The purpose of a furnace is to process items by heating them up in order to change them into other items. Its interface can be opened by pressing the use item button on it. A fuel source (up to one stack of fuel items) is placed in the bottom slot, and the items to be processed (up to one stack) goes in the upper slot. A furnace runs at a speed of one item every 200 game ticks (10 seconds) or six items per minute.

The number of items that a fuel source can process depends on the type of fuel. As soon as the process begins, the fuel slot is decremented immediately, and that unit of fuel starts burning. The fuel continues burning until fully consumed, regardless of whether the upper slot has any items remaining to process. For example, a piece of coal burns for 80 seconds and can process eight items, but if only one item is processed (or if the item is pulled out before the process is complete), the coal still continues burning for the full 80 seconds, wasting seven items’ worth of processing. After it burns out, no additional fuel is decremented from the fuel slot if the upper slot is empty. If the fuel slot is empty and the burning fuel is consumed before an item completes processing, the process stops, the item is unchanged, and the process must be restarted with new fuel.

Furnaces emit a light level of 13 when active, as well as smoke and flame particles.

By default, the GUI of a furnace is labeled "Furnace", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the /data command‌^{[Java Edition only]}.

In Java Edition, a furnace can be "locked" by setting its lock tag using the /data command. If a furnace's lock tag is not blank, the furnace cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item that matches the item predicate in the lock tag. For example, to lock a furnace at (0,64,0) so that the furnace cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Furnace Key", use /data merge block 0 64 0 {lock:{components:{"custom_name":"Furnace Key"}}}.
