Blaze Rod – Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a blaze rod with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a blaze rod is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. A blaze rod can be used as a fuel in a furnace to smelt/cook 12 items (1 blaze rod will burn in a furnace for 120 seconds).

Let’s explore how to add a blaze rod to your inventory.

How to get a Blaze Rod in Survival Mode

You can add a blaze rod to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a blaze. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Blaze

You first need to find a blaze.

A blaze is a type of mob that is only found in the Nether and are usually created from a blaze spawner in the Nether Fortress.

2. Attack and Kill the Blaze

Once you find a blaze, you need to attack it. When you attack the blaze, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the blaze. Once you have killed the blaze, it will drop a blaze rod.

3. Pick up the Blaze Rod

Make sure you pick up the blaze rod before it disappears.

A blaze rod is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
