I was smelting items yesterday, when a thought occured to me. Why must I wait for these items to cook? We live in a civilised age, with many advancements in other areas of minecraft, yet I must stand next to a furnace. There is little room for advancement past automating it, but still you have to wait. Well, no more will this issue be a problem. Starting today, I have built a machine in my warp trade shop that trades 64 cobblestone and 10 coal for a stack of stone. The machine automatically restocks with the coal and stone put in by the customer, so it will not go out of stock. Soon, I am planning to install several of these machines for all of the popular smelts if the stone one is used.

Soon, nobody will have to wait for furnaces to smelt anything. Bring on the age of instant smelting!
