Making Brick Blocks for Your Fireplace

Download Article

  1. 1

    Gather clay. You can find clay in veins along the bottom of shallow rivers, swamps or inside of mason houses (plains, savanna, and desert villages).

    • You can break clay blocks with your hand, but using a shovel works best.
    • Breaking clay blocks always drops 4 clay balls, regardless of Fortune.

  2. 2

    Turn the clay into bricks. Add a clay ball and a fuel source, like coal or planks, to your furnace, to smelt the clay balls into bricks.

    • Make sure you smelt the clay balls, and not the clay block. Smelting the clay block will give Hardened Clay/Terracotta which can't be turned back to normal clay.

  3. 3

    Craft the bricks. Brick items, need to be crafted into blocks first before they can be used to build with. To do this, place 4 bricks in a 2x2 square in your crafting menu.

    • Bricks (the item not the block) can also be used to craft flower pots.

  4. 4

    Trading with Villagers. Alternatively, you can trade emeralds for bricks with a Stone Mason villager instead of gathering the clay yourself.

    • Stone Masons houses can naturally spawn as part of a village, but you can also convert an unemployed villager into a stone mason by placing a Stonecutter close to them.
    • This method is recommended for large projects as less time is spent just looking for clay.
    • For a smaller project like this you shouldn't need to trade with too many villagers, but for a larger build, its a good idea to invest in a trading hall.

  1. 1

    Dig out a 2 brick by 4 brick hole up to the ceiling on an exterior wall of your base.

  2. 2

    Dig out the 2 bricks on the floor in the center of the hole you just made.

  3. 3

    Line the hole with brick blocks. Place 2 netherrack in the floor holes and cover the rest of the fireplace 1 block deeper.

    • If you want a fireplace escape route make the fireplace either 2x1x3 or 2x2x3 (these dimensions are: height x width x length/back) with a hallway that leads somewhere safe (like a hidden bunker) and a minecart behind where the flame will be.(it will work even if the fire is... flaming, but just in case dig a 1x1 hole in the hall and place a bucket of water)

  4. 4

    Extend the chimney as high as you want out of the side of your base.

  5. 5

    Light up the netherrack with your flint and steel to complete your fireplace.

    You can't. You have to use a furnace, because if you use the fireplace, you will burn yourself to death.

    The railing is made of iron bars. If you don’t have access to that, you don’t even need a railing.

    What else can I use besides netherrack?

    Nothing unless you want it to go out; netherrack burns continuously, while other blocks make the fire go out, or the fire burns down the block.

      Tips

      • Add metal bars in front of the fire to avoid spreading, and you or any mobs in your base from accidentally walking into the fire.

        Thanks

      • If you don't have access to the Nether, flammable blocks like wood or wool are a good alternative.

        Thanks

      • Netherrack, Soul Soil, Bedrock (only in the End), and Magma Blocks will burn until you (the player) put them out. This only applies to the top of the block, not the sides or bottom.

        Thanks

      Warnings

      • If you have flammable blocks less than 4 blocks above the fire or above adjacent blocks, then those blocks will ignite, so make sure no flammable blocks are within this zone.
