We all know how the first day of a new Minecraft world usually goes. Punch a tree, collect a bunch of wood, make a crafting bench and some basic tools, then dig out a mine and use the stone you collect to build our Block of the Week - the furnace. Now we're cooking!
The furnace was added to Minecraft in version 0.31 on 19 February 2010, alongside string and feathers. Prior to its addition, the only way to smelt something was to drop it on the ground and then burn it with a flint and steel. Not very practical!
At first, the only thing that could be cooked up was cobblestone, but by 20 March 2010 the block was pretty much functional in the way we know it today. Since then it hasn't been tweaked much - patches have only added a new texture, some UI and lighting improvements, and the ability to use wooden tools as fuel when you don't need them any more. So long, humble wooden shovel! You served me well, old friend.
But now you BURN.
