Welcome! What brings you to my smelting studio?
Player
I'm actually looking for someone who could help me out with some smelting work.
Npc
Happy to help! Let me guess, you need to smelt some ore, right?
Player
Right! I've been mining for some coal and iron ore but I'm not sure what to do with it.
Npc
Sure, no problem. I can teach you how to smelt ore. It's not that hard. First, you need to gather some fuel. That can be either wood, charcoal, or coal. Then combine the ore and fuel in a furnace, and you'll have your smelted ore.
Player
Sounds simple enough. What kind of fuel should I use?
Npc
It really depends on the ore. For example, coal and iron ore smelts best with coal, while iron ingots and gold ore smelts better with charcoal. Of course, wood works for both.
Player
Would you happen to have any coal or charcoal lying around?
Npc
I do! Here you go, take this. Now, if you're looking to smelt ore on a regular basis, then I recommend building an automated smelting system. It's a bit complicated, but if you have the resources, I can give you the know-how to get it set up.
Player
Sure, I'd love to learn about that!
Npc
Okay! I'll need some cobblestone and iron blocks to get started. I'm also going to need some sort of powering system. Redstone blocks would be best. Once you have the materials, I'll teach you how to build the system.
Player
Awesome! I'll be right back with the materials. *returns with materials*

Excellent! Now let's get started. To build an automatic smelting system, first you need to craft a furnace....
Npc
Next, place the furnace on the ground and put the iron block right next to it. Then place the redstone block and cobblestone blocks in front of the furnace. After that, all you have to do is place the ore and fuel in the furnace and the system will do the rest!
