Smithing Table at a glance

Smithing Table comes from crafting and Village (Toolsmith house), and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. A slot of Smithing Table holds 64, nine slots hold 576, and 1728 fill a chest. It is worth 1.5 smelts in a furnace, 96 once a full stack burns.

Smithing Table has a hardness of 2.5. Its blast resistance repeats that 2.5, so Smithing Table offers no shelter. An axe shortens the job on Smithing Table, and no minimum material applies. It sits between Small Dripleaf and Smoker in Utility Blocks, number 285 of 340 there.
