Two of Minecrafts Best Furnace Arrays

Good morning ladies and gentlemen cubic meter, this is a video that I have wanted to make for a long time. I had some great ideas for various oven sets and even started recording a ton of information on how to try different settings, unfortunately none. Most of these ideas worked the way I wanted them to, so here we're going to get into some of the details on how to build the perfect oven set. Of course, the basic idea of ​​your

furnace

is that you input a raw material that inputs a fuel and then you convert that item into its molten form.

This is pretty simple, but then things get pretty complicated when you start thinking about

furnace

sets, the basic idea is that because it takes so long to melt each item, you want to melt several. items into different furnaces in parallel to increase the speed at which you can recover your molten products, there are four basic principles for any set of furnaces, first we have the distribution of items, we need to ensure that the items you want to melt are evenly distributed between each single furnace as a whole so you can run the operation perfectly in parallel, then of course you have your fuel distribution to make sure each of your furnaces has enough fuel to perform the smelting operation, then you have item collection where you get your melted results and then you want to automatically combine them all into a centralized storage and then on top of these three things you have precision timing because each furnace takes exactly 10 seconds to melt a particular item that you want to make sure of.

So that you have the next item of the iron distribution ready just as you finish smelting the previous one, you get maximum utilization of your fuel, you also need to balance this with your item collection to ensure you can keep up. the speed of your set of ovens so that the elements do not build up with all that in mind. I want to go ahead and show you two awesome precision furnace assembly designs for different applications. These are two slight variations of a 64 oven set and this is a huge 1728 oven set, the reason I chose the specific numbers 64 and 1728 is because these numbers represent the exact amount of items I can store in one single slot in the player's inventory.

Here I have a full stack of raw pork chops which is 64. and here is a full box of raw pork chops which is exactly 1720. These numbers are a perfect compromise for the ergonomics and functionality of an oven because with this small design I can Simply place a stack of items like this and then have those items smelted in one operation, making this nifty little set of 64 furnaces perfect for those odd smelting jobs, so all we have it's this simple interface where you just enter the items that you want to smelt inside this mine cart that you can make.

Anything from a single stack to the full chest minecart, technically you can also do anything less than a full stack, however I will explain why this is not desirable in a moment, just below the entry for our articles, We have this chest, which is our fuel input. and if I empty this entire double chest, as well as the hopper beneath it, or activate a mechanism that prevents the furnace assembly from starting, however, if there is an operation in progress at that time, there will still be some fuel in the inside. this minecart underneath all this wiring behind the interface gives the furnace assembly its precision capabilities the orange represents a precision clock for fuel delivery what we have is a modified hopper clock that is very precisely timed to allow you to detect exactly when this fuel expires if I go ahead and enter some items so, first of all, you're going to have this mechanism that detects when the chest cart has items in it, extending this latch that connects our system to start the oven array, so everything What I have to do is press this button.

The chest cutout appears and distributes all the items between all the furnaces perfectly evenly and you can notice that each of the furnaces has had exactly one fuel placed inside this slot which comes from the launch of this chest cart that is now is reloading while all of this is happening, we also have this hopper clock that is ticking and what it is doing is timing this burn time in the furnace so that when the furnaces have used up the previous fuel, this hopper clock is reset by complete and if you activate another casting operation, it will send the fueling car and send exactly one fuel to this slot again.

The advantage of this precision fueling means that you do not need to have a large amount of fuel backed up in these slots as far as you centralize. Fuel storage is what means you can initialize this set of furnaces with a very small amount of fuel initially and as I said before, ideally your minimum smelting operation would be 64 elements or exactly one stack; You can technically do less than a full stack, but what is this? What it would mean would be that if I said to put only 32 items in that chest, only half of the furnaces would start burning and then you would end up with extra fuel in this slot, however that wouldn't cause any problems and all you would do is do it.

What's left is just some fuel in some of the ovens if the operation is more than a single stack, such as if I put in exactly eight stacks, that means each oven will smell exactly eight items, which means we'll use exactly one part. of fuel from the furnaces, so if I go ahead and turn on this furnace, I have perfectly timed this rail to the distribution system, so if we look inside one of these furnaces, the exact moment that this item melts, it will be replaced by a new item. and we waste absolutely no burning time, our items are sent to this simple little storage system that collects the items as quickly as possible.

This is achieved by simply using hopper minecarts like this one, which pick up the item and then distribute it evenly across all of these hoppers into this chest which gives us the fastest possible push speed into this chest if the hovercart spam is not your thing, although you can also have the option of just throwing the items on the floor in front of the player now for our item collection, all I have is this chest cart that dispenses on this rail at the same time as the irons are melted, which What happens is that the irons will be taken out by this hopper and then when the chess mine cart passes by, the hoppers will push it towards the chest cart and we make use of the new mechanic in 1.19 that allows us to instantly eliminate the chess mine cart. chess and extract the items like this, then we get the chess card my back inside this dropper line that goes back to the dispenser, allowing us to recycle the mine cart this way.

It's a new mechanic introduced in 1.19, so in its entirety this set of furnaces would technically only work in 1.19, however I'm currently on 1.18.2 using a mod that implements the mechanic. This is ultimately a design for a simple little furnace set that I would consider using in survival, but let's say we wanted to smelt a lot more than just a pile of items. Well, that's when we bring out the big guns. This is a huge 1728 oven array that I'm designing for the Wave Text Server. It uses an extremely unique mechanic to distribute the elements that allows us to have these extremely compact oven array modules, you just have to look at it, it's very satisfying to see.

I just went and bought myself a shulker box as several items I will place them here and we are currently frozen so we can get a good look at the internal mechanics right here we have a simple shulker box unloader with 32 stacked hopper mine carts waiting for us to place our box stroke, so if I go ahead and unfreeze it like Did you see how fast that box unloaded that's absolutely crazy? Right now, each of these floating mine carts has exactly 54 items. I just use a command block to freeze the game at the perfect moment so we can watch it. the majesty of the item distribution if we get into that position, I'm going to go ahead and unfreeze, look we use this round curve mechanic where, the moment the hopper mine cart touches the detector rail, the first cart that receives a pass mark however. the rest of the stack continues straight it's not that amazing now something I should be very clear about is that this mechanic is directional with this simple setup we will see that it only works in the negative z direction in any other direction and the mechanic fails completely therefore , this entire set of ovens will only work if all of these rails point y then in the negative z direction.

However, this compromise is perfectly acceptable given the advantages and is also too satisfying to see if we go ahead and grab a portion of our Furnace Array Module. I went ahead and implemented a pretty fancy hopper locking system, so of course the goal is to ensure that while the kiln is idle, we lock these hoppers right here and I managed to do that using a single block of redstone. pushed by such a piston, however, the problem is that we also need to place a mine cart on these hoppers to distribute the fuel into our furnaces, so my ingenious solution is to simply push the hood rail of my carts when we unlock the hoppers and So now the mine carts can move freely over the top of the hoppers and when we want to lock the first array again all we have to do is that and now both hoppers are completely locked for fuel distribution once again .

I have this precise. hopper clock to precisely feed each of the furnaces, so if I can look inside one, here we go, you can see we have exactly one coal in each of these furnaces. A shulker box unloading station keeps these mine carts full. times with coal for item collection, I have these dispensers with a mine cart with hopper that is perfectly timed to dispense the mine cart at the exact moment the smelting ends, if I go ahead and defrost it, there we go, we collect all items at the perfect time. each of these hopper carts will pick up exactly 54 items when they reach the end, then we stack all the carts together, you can see 54 in each one, then we send them to the centralized case loading system, we heat the carts using the new 1.19, then we assign items to a dedicated shulker box loader eight times.

Here we can take a look inside the shulker box and we can see that we are loading this box at ultra-fast speeds. This is by far the most powerful feature of this. Furnace Set The fact that you can input a single shulker box of items and then retrieve that same shulker box but melted at the exit makes it the perfect furnace set for bulk smelting operations as it can melt from effectively a complete shulker box in just a 10 second operation giving us a total speed of over 600 000 items per hour, of course you can go even further with more ovens, however I would say this is the compromise perfect as you can pull off a surprise in a shulker and this is perfect.

The balance of input and output allows us to do some things we wouldn't normally be able to do with a furnace array, like melting mixed boxes like this. If I enter this box, we load all the ovens with our different items. We will also take out our combined items and of course all of these items will be loaded into the same shulker box so this is what we put in and this is what we get perfectly balanced as all the things should be now the order of The items were spoiled. a little bit, but that's not really important, the important thing is that we got exactly the same amount of items as we put in, so of course to use this oven set you will need the full cart mechanic introduced in 1.19 or you will need to modify it to An older version for the full cart mod, this mechanic just streamlines the whole process as we can simply store all of our hopper carts inside a buffer like this, for reference here is my previous design for this set of ovens that made over a year ago, you have these huge silos full of hopper cars stacked up, but keep in mind that each of these has 32 hopper cars, which means we have hundreds of hopper cars scattered around the world doing nothing and creating a huge amount of Delaying this whole box loading system without the cutting mechanic was also ridiculously complicated and unreliable, so I was very excited to discover that with thecart giving out, you could just eat the carts and forget about them as they filtered into some storage system that did everything.

It's so much easier, look how easy this system is by just separating the carts from their items, that's why you're just watching this video now. It takes a lot of time to design gadgets like this, so if you appreciate my work, feel free. to subscribe and get notified when my next project is ready if you want to see the fans to elevate you then check out the description to download a worldwide download.
