Minecraft: Ultimate Super Smelter Tutorial (how to build)

G’day everyone and welcome to another minecraft  build tutorial in today’s video i’ll be showing   you how to create the ultimate super smelter that  can smelt an entire stack of items in only 45   seconds and it looks good doing it something that  i dislike about a lot of super smelter tutorials  

And things along those lines is that they are  almost always a giant eyesore so a strong passion   of mine is to make those things into something  that is a great addition to your world aesthetics   wise and usefulness wise if that makes any sense  alright guys and just before we get into the tour  

Of the build we have our first ever sponsor of the  channel josz block is a brand new skyblock server   with a small but friendly community work your  way through over 300 quests battle through tough   dungeons unlock incredible custom gear and rank  up through in-game ranks and unlock cool perks  

Compete for the top spots on the leaderboards or  play casually through the server campaign with a   no pay to win policy you get the best chance of  winning without having to spend a single dollar  

Be sure to check out the description below for the  ip to the server and more a big thanks to them for   supporting the channel go show the server some  love all right now on to the tour all right so  

Before we get into how exactly this whole thing  works i want to take a quick look around the   aesthetics and all of the exterior so you might  notice that this build does look pretty neutral  

It is all spruce and a little bit of stone on  the trims of the roofs and this is intentional   i really couldn’t figure out a final design block  palette to use with this build so i just went with  

A pretty neutral one and i highly encourage you  guys to stylize this and make this build your own   make it suit the biome that you’re in or any kind  of specific layout but for this tutorial i will  

Be going with this neutral kind of look that  does work and looks good pretty much anywhere   also you might have noticed that there is a lot of  windows on this and that is so that you can pretty  

Much always see inside and see your minecarts  going and keep track of everything you can of   course replace all of these glass and fence blocks  with something else that isn’t transparent so now   let’s head over to the very front entrance of  the design and here you can see we also have  

Our entrance so obviously into the actual base  but before we head inside let’s take a look at   all of these levers and the chests and exactly  what they do so our bottom most chests on either  

Side here are our output chests this is where our  smelted final product will end up and then also   up here is our input chests so our outermost chest  this one and this one are the fuel input chest so  

In here you’d be putting in your coal or lava  buckets or whatever the hell you use and then   beside those the innermost chests is where you’ll  put in your item to be smelted you can of course  

Keep track of this by using some item frames or  you can just memorize it it’s entirely up to you   and then all of these levers here all they do is  power the powered rails that they’re facing into  

That send the minecarts on their way and turn  on the super smelter itself so now let’s head   inside and take a look at exactly how this is all  set up and how it works so the reason why we have  

These two separated sides of all of these chests  is that we have two separate super smelters inside   of this one build now on each side we have a total  of 10 furnaces and this gives us a really quick  

Smelting speed for either side and the reason why  we have two separate sides is so that you’re able   to smelt two different things at the same time  so say you have some iron and also some copper  

That you want to smelt at the same time you can go  ahead and do that and chuck those into each side   and you can keep them separate throughout  the entire process also if you just have  

A bunch of iron you can chuck it in here you  can chuck it in here as well and it’ll smelt   at double the speed as it would in one single  side and even if you wanted to you could combine  

All of this into one single super smelter all  you’d have to do is just link up these furnaces   together and figure out the rail system to link it  all back up so in here you can see this is where  

Our minecart hoppers stay and these are on some  powered rails right now they’re off because our   levers are turned off but once we turn these  on and i’ll go ahead and turn these on now  

You’ll see that these hoppers go on their way and  they pretty much just make a loop they go between   the starting position and then over here which  is the end position and they loop between them   which is what allows them to deposit the items  evenly across all of the furnaces i’m just gonna  

Turn these off because they’re pretty loud and  annoying yeah so we pretty much just have this   repeated design on either side and that pretty  much covers it for the tour it is just a simple   super smelter design that you’ll find in pretty  much any design except we just have two of them  

Inside of the same building so with that done and  out of the way if you want to create the super   smelter for yourself feel free to stick around  and we’ll get started on the tutorial right now all right so starting off you will of  course need to find a pretty flat open area  

And then we’re going to begin by placing  in the outline of all of the pillars next let’s go ahead and raise up all  of these pillars by an additional   four blocks so that they’re  all five blocks high in total

Next this onto all of the wall designs and  we’re first starting off with the right side   of the entrance so one block above the  ground let’s place in some upside down   spruce stairs below that some spruce trap  doors and also some stone along the bottom  

Now with a two block gap in between these  stairs let’s add in some spruce slabs   and then some fences on either side  and then finally some glass in the sink and now we’re pretty much just going to repeat  this exact same thing across all of the walls  

Except it’s just going to be lengthened  to suit the amount of wall that we need   so and now with all of the walls done let’s grab  out the scaffolding and head up and create   the trim of the very front roof so this is  all pretty much made out of stone slabs and  

Towards the top in the middle we will be  transitioning into stairs and then back into slabs next let’s go ahead and repeat  this exact same trim design on   the right side wall and the only thing  that’s going to be different is in the  

Very top in the center we’ll be making it an  additional slab high so that it’s a full block and then of course head over to the final side  and repeat that exact same design once again

Next up it’s time to fill in the main roof  and to do this we will pretty much just   be connecting up all of the trims  together with your block of choice   for this version we’ll be going  with spruce slabs and stairs

Now with the roof done let’s go ahead and replace  all of the grass on the interior with some stone alright so now with the bulk of the build done  it’s time to get into the finer details and we’re  

Going to be starting off with the front wall so  to begin we’re going to be placing in our chests   and we’re going to be placing these in in some  specific locations so be sure to follow exactly  

Along as how i am so our first double chest is  going to be in line with this first trapdoor   here on the wall and then we’re going to place  another one directly to the right of that and then  

Let’s mirror this on the opposite side as well and  then we’re going to leave a gap of two blocks and   then place our next chest so this is going to be  in line with the top of the fence here and then  

We’re going to place another one in line with  the window here and then coming away from this   we’re going to add in another double chest and now  let’s just quickly mirror this on the other side  

Now let’s head back out this way and now we’re  going to add in our main kind of pillars for the   front area so our first pillar is going to be in  line with these pillars and to place these we’re  

Going to first place in one block like this kind  of just leaving this slab right here i’m going to   place in an additional two more blocks just like  this then behind this in the middle we’re going  

To add another block here and then another one and  another one and another one until we bring it down   in line with these chests now directly below  this we’re going to add an upside down spruce  

Stair block and then on the left and right we’re  going to add in some more pillars and connect them   up to the side walls now for the final pillars  we’re just going to add some to the right of  

This chest here connected up to the main pillar  system here and then we’re going to do the same   on this side as well so now you should have this  final shape next let’s go ahead and fix up these  

Gaps here and to do this we’re going to place in  some upside down spruce stairs on these two blocks   and then in front of each of these we’re going to  place in a spruce trap door and in the middle we  

May as well chuck in our lantern just to brighten  things up a bit now let’s head on to the inside   and directly above this bottom chest here we’re  going to place in an upside down spruce stair  

Let’s do the same on this side as well and now  let’s grab out some scaffolding we’re probably   gonna need maybe three or four in total and we’re  gonna head up here and then on top of all of these  

Double chests we’re going to play this might be  kind of hard to do this but we’re gonna place some   regular stairs like this they’re not upside down  or anything just like that just to cover up the  

Gaps and now while we’re in here we may as well  add in the rest of the stuff as well so let’s go   ahead and bring our scaffolding back a little bit  just so we can see a little easier so now in front  

Of each of these stair blocks we’re going to add  in some more spruce trap doors just like this and   then in between these two chests here let’s place  in an additional strip spruce wood block now we  

Can destroy our scaffolding and jump down and then  in front of each of these chests here let’s place   on another spruce trap door and then we’re going  to go ahead and close all of these up as well and  

Then we’re also going to add a lantern just below  this block here now we’re done for now for the   front wall on the inside so let’s head back out  here and then the final thing that we’re going to  

Do is actually uh head back in i’m sorry and we’re  going to add in our door real quick just like that   and now to finish off the front wall let’s go  ahead and add some levers on these blocks here  

And then this is where you can go ahead and  add in some item frames on these chests and   also these chests if you want as well so the fuel  chests are going to be the ones on the sides so  

This chest and this chest just the the outermost  chests and to mark it as full i like to just use   some coal obviously and then the ones beside those  the ones closest to the inside are going to be our  

Input for the ores and to mark this out i like to  use just some raw iron and then if you wanted to   mark the output chest you can go ahead and chuck  some item frames on them as well and just put on  

An iron ingot and yeah you can of course change  these to whatever you want you can have them empty   i’m just going to leave them empty because i kind  of prefer that look because in survival you can’t  

Really get the invisible item frames if you do  want those i will have the command for that in   the description all right so now we’re completely  done with all of the exterior of the build and now  

It’s time to head inside and create all of the  redstone and the tracks and all of that stuff   all right so all of this stuff from here on out is  going to be very complex and kind of complicated  

So be sure to follow along exactly as i’m placing  them but if you do have any issues feel free to   post a comment and i will try to help you  out the best i can so each of these sides  

Are going to be exactly the same as each other  just mirrored and we’re going to start off with   the right side of the build if you’re facing  like this way we’re going to be starting off  

With the right side so first what we’re going to  go ahead and do is create our hopper line that   goes from the output chests into the furnaces  so let’s go ahead and hold shift and place in  

Just a bunch of hoppers until we reach this area  here we’re going to have a one block gap between   the wall and the hoppers and then we’re going  to create two rows of more hoppers that extend  

This way towards the edge of the build and we’re  also going to once again stop with a one block gap   in between the wall and the hoppers like this  now starting from the end here we’re gonna  

Place in our furnaces on top of all these hoppers  we’re gonna be placing five in total on each side and then this should leave you with a two hopper  gap at the ends now behind all of these furnaces  

We’re going to be adding in some more hoppers  and this is going to be for our fuel input   so be sure to hold shift and right click directly  on the back of the furnaces make sure you right  

Click in the back and not the hopper as the hop is  not going to point the right way so just make sure   to right click at the back of all of the furnaces  and confirm that all of the hoppers are facing the  

Right way let’s go ahead and quickly repeat this  on the other side once again and now we’re going   to do the same thing but on top of all of the  furnaces so just right click on top of all of  

These furnaces do the same on this side as well  and now with this done let’s go ahead and just   quickly mirror this on the other side while we’re  at it so once again we’re going to extend all of  

These hoppers directly to the back leaving a one  block gap let’s bring these to the edges as well   two rows just like this now starting from  the ends let’s add on our five furnaces   on either side and then on the backs our  hoppers and the hoppers on the tops as well  

All right now let’s head back over to this side  let’s go ahead and add in all of our rail systems   so to do this we’re going to grab out some  spruce slabs all your slabs of choice doesn’t   really matter and we’re gonna create basically  a big platform that connects up to this furnace  

Here so we’re gonna place in two like this and  another two to the right of it then let’s connect   this up all the way above this chest and below  these chests and then we’re gonna extend it out  

One block again so we create this kind of l shape  of slabs then let’s head around to the back over   here and we’re gonna cover in all of this little  gap here with some more spruce slabs except for in  

This middle one here we’re going to be replacing  this with a block of redstone then let’s also go   ahead and add in a spruce slab in between these  two hoppers at the end right here and now it’s  

Time to go ahead and add in all of our rails so be  sure to place these exactly as i am or else you’re   going to have issues as you can see if you kind  of live like this they’re gonna join up and you’re  

Gonna have a bad time so just be sure to follow  along exactly as i am we’re gonna start off with   the fuel track first so let’s go ahead and bring  this all the way around so we’re gonna place a  

Powered rail right here and then we’re going to  go with a couple of non-powered rails until we   reach right here so it’s just three regular rails  after this powered rail and then we’re gonna place   another powered rail on this corner block right  here now let’s keep going along all of these  

Hoppers be sure to hold shift while you’re placing  these and these are all just regular rails all the   way up until we reach this block of redstone here  which is going to be another powered rail and then  

We’re going to do the exact same thing we’re going  to bring these rails all the way along to the end   of the hoppers right here and this last block  is actually going to be a powered rail my bad  

All right now let’s do the same thing for the  input for all of the ores and so we’re going   to once again start off the line with a powered  rail and then we’re going to extend some normal  

Rails all the way down along here and then in  line with this rail here we’re going to place   another powered rail and now we’re going to bring  our rails on top of all of these hoppers so let’s  

Bring them all the way along like this and then  we’re going to keep going we’re not going to use   a powered rail here as it’s got enough power just  bring it all the way up along these hoppers and  

Then on the final one a powered rail now while  we’re up here let’s go ahead and power all of   these rails that we need to power and to do this  we’re first going to place a block at the end of  

This rail here and then above this let’s place  in a redstone dust hold shift and we’re going to   place another block right here kind of using the  redstone dust to place it and then let’s jump over  

This side and place another block now one block  above this redstone dust here let’s place on a   redstone torch just like this and you’ll see  that this will power both of these rails now   jumping back over here on the end of this block  let’s place in a redstone torch this will power  

This rail here and then we’re gonna place another  redstone torch right here which will power this   rail and now of course let’s go ahead and test  all of the system just to ensure that our carts  

Reach the ends and then loop back around over here  so let’s place in two minecarts with a hopper on   these two end rails right here then let’s head  out we’re gonna flick both of these levers and  

Head back inside and we’re just gonna watch these  carts and make sure they both bounce back this way   and it looks like they are both working correctly  i’m not sure if this system is going to work  

Entirely on bedrock so you might need to add in  maybe some more powered rails just make sure when   you’re adding in redstone that it’s not touching a  hopper because then it’ll turn it off and not make  

It work but because both of these are working  we’ll know that our fuel and also our smeltable   item will be going into our furnaces and we’ll  test it all at the end once we get the other side  

Created now the only thing that’s left to do over  on this side is fix up this gap in the roof here   so let’s go ahead and place in some more slabs on  these two corner blocks here and then we’re going  

To place in two slabs like this and then in this  gap we’re going to be placing some spruce trap   doors to go ahead and place one trapdoor here  and one here and we’re gonna close those up and  

Now for this middle one let’s place a trapdoor up  here and then place another one close this one up   and destroy that one now while we’re at it let’s  go ahead and also throw in all of our lanterns so  

One block away from the edge here let’s place one  lantern then we’re gonna go right into the middle   place another lantern and then in between these  two so there should be a gap of three between each  

Of these so one two three lands in one two three  lantern now let’s just go ahead and do this on   the other side real quick so slab here slab here  two slabs trap door trap door close them up trap  

Door trap door yeah yeah you get the picture one  block away from here let’s place in our lantern   three blocks away another lantern and that’s  all the lanterns done and now i’m gonna go ahead  

And repeat this exact same thing on this side i’m  not gonna speed it up just because i feel like it   might be a bit easier to follow if it’s not sped  up even though it is the exact same thing just  

Mirrored so let’s go ahead and create a little  platform like this our l shape that connects up   to the furnace and then underneath our last chest  over here then let’s head back over here fill in   these two blocks and these two and then fill  in the middle one with a block of redstone  

And then in between these two hoppers a spruce  slab now let’s go ahead and add in our rails   so we’re gonna place our powered rail right  here we’re gonna bring our rails all the way  

Along here and then once we turn the corner let’s  add in our powered rail then on top of all of   the hoppers some regular rails bring it all the  way around to here a powered rail on top of the  

Redstone block and then some more unpowered  rails all the way up until the end and on this   final one a powered rail now for our ore input  line let’s go ahead and head back over here  

Powered rail regular rails all the way up until  we meet up this one here place in another powered   rail now let’s bring it up along here all the way  along till the final block which will be another  

Powered rail now in front of this rail here  let’s place in a block redstone above that and   then on the edge of this redstone another block  then let’s hop over here place another block   above this redstone a redstone torch which  should power both of these rails on the end  

Of these blocks here another redstone torch  and then another one just in line with it here   now let’s also go ahead and test this side as well  just to make sure we got it all correct so chuck  

On two minecarts with hoppers right here flick  both of these levers and let’s have a looksie and   there we go they’re both bouncing back and perfect  they’re both looping perfectly and now with that   the entirety of the build is now done let’s go  ahead and do some final testing just to ensure  

Everything works so let’s turn all of these levers  off head back inside might need a little bit of   scaffolding just so we can place our minecart  with hoppers on all of these powered rails at  

The ends here then let’s head outside now in the  left and right most chests let’s chuck in our fuel   item and then it should all get completely sucked  out of the chests and into the mine carts with the  

Hoppers and then on the other chest let’s place in  our smeltable item i’m gonna go with some raw iron   wait until all of these are completely empty just  like that and now let’s flick all of the levers  

Also be sure to leave these levers on as long as  your thing is melting just so that these minecarts   do bounce back and now to confirm that it’s all  working all of these furnaces are all turned on   if there’s any that are empty it might mean  that there’s something stuck inside all of  

Your hoppers so if this one was off just make  sure to check this hopper and this hopper that   there’s no items filled up in here and yeah so  with all of these furnaces on that means our   super smelter is completely working perfectly  we should be getting our output items here as  

You can see it is very quick we’ve already almost  completed all of the smelting already for both of   these sides and now also if you know that all of  your items are empty from all of these hoppers  

You can go ahead and turn off the levers and  that’ll just bring all of the hoppers back to   where they first started just like that and now  within a couple more seconds we should have all of  

Our items completely finished yeah so we’re pretty  much done with the entire build as just a final   note i will again say that i recommend changing  this to suit your biome or your specific needs   you can of course leave it with this kind  of block palette it is very neutral and it  

Will work anywhere but i do recommend to kind of  just make the build your own make it look cooler   so if you enjoyed this tutorial be sure to  leave a like on the video as it helps me out
