[Solved] help with bloomery

Started by tally,

May i ask if a bloomery chimney needs open air above it like a forge?  The wiki does not say it does, but I did everything right in building it, my 1st bloomery is not starting up.  I got the coal block, the right image of unlit inactive Bloomery, but it wont light.  I was frustrated because I knew I built it right but no matter how i tried it wouldnt light.

 

I was going to change the location of it try it outside my house to have an open air chimney, and I wanted to reuse my stone blocks, as i was digging out the stone blocks the bloomery block popped out and was lost.  also the 16 iron I had put into it were lost.  Now very frustrated as I lost all that bronze to make the bloomery block and lost the iron ore i had tried to light up.

 

Also, my chickens wont breed ... i gave them a nest, but nothing in it, the female chicken ignores it.  they wont eat grain, they also wont follow me when holding wheat grain, i had to push them into my pen.

It does not need access to air. Make sure you are using a CHARCOAL block which you have placed by right clicking charcoal items (8 times) into the bottom of the bloomery, not a coal block.

 

As for chickens, try to push them towards the nest. If you can get them in, they'll lay the eggs.

You also need to make sure that you are adding extra charcoal on top of the block when you throw in the ore as well. If the only charcoal you ever put in there was the block, the bloomery isn't going to light because it doesn't have enough fuel. For every single piece of ore you throw in, you need to throw in a piece of charcoal.

 

Also, could you please provide a screenshot of the chickens you are having issues with? It's entirely possible that they are actually pheasants, and not chickens.
