In game, in a survival map, we start out with wood tools, then cobble, then iron etc etc.
Then the crafting bench, to get furnaces to use the better items and so on and so forth.
Ex: Wood to make crafting bench, then cobble to make furnaces, then smelting iron, and on from there.
What I'm proposing is that the furnaces can be upgraded using the different materials in the world, to make them more effective.
For example, the Cobblestone Furnace burns coal and smelts the item at a standard rate, nothing special.
BUT, if you wanted to make a Iron Furnace, it would have the same upgrade abilities as a Iron tool would have Eg: Longer Durabilty (coal lasting longer in the furnace in this case) and the ability to smelt items faster.
The effects would be the same for Gold and Diamond Furnaces, Gold smelts fast but burns through coal extremely quickly, and diamond is the all around best one to use.
Pros: Upgradability of furnaces, less burning of coal in some instances, quicker item smelting. Use for loads of extra left over Iron/Gold/(rare cases of diamond)
Cons: Might take a bit to code, people might like the system the way it is.
Current list of possible furnaces:
Iron
Gold
Brick (suggested by Maruno 42)
Netherack
Cobble (Normal Furnace)
Stone
Lapis (suggested by NitrogenSnow)

Yeah, it's a neat little idea. Though personally I've never met anybody with a solid gold oven, but I can imagine somebody owns one. Would you craft them with the ingots themselves or metal blocks?
Thats a good question, i was thinking the ingots themselves, since it would take a HELLUVA long time to get enough diamond blocks to make a diamond furnace......
maybe the iron furnace could go somewhere, but definately not the gold or diamond furnace (wich would be good enough for a mod though). If the normal furnace has a chance of 50% of destroying your iron ore so you get an average of 32 iron ingots from 64 iron ore instead of 64 iron ingots, and the iron furnace has a chance of 75% of succeeding in making iron ingots, that would be great! Mojang should make bigger iron ore veins to compensate this, but I would like it!
Chance of not smelting: NONONONONONONONO. THAT WOULD BE TOTAL ****.

The concept of a super-furnace or super-crafting bench has been around for a VERY long time. Personally, I'd like the idea of a Forge, which uses a 3x3 crafting grid AND requires fuel, and is used to make super-advanced items, like indestructible obsidian tools.

There's any number of different furnace's that can be expanded upon, with the ores that are available in game.
I think there should be brick furnaces that are better then iron and require an iron furnace to make. Making brick furnaces better is based on the fact that clay is rarer then iron. It would add an actual use for bricks.

Brick, iron, gold, cobble, stone, maybe even netherack furnaces. Plenty of available choices.
Could anyone make a furnace (re-detail it a bit, if its not too much work) to make a iron looking furnace? As a example for a picture in the thread.
Check out industrialcraft. It adds tons of thinggs like this.
Yes I realize industrial craft does that, but, not to be rude, but, this is for vanilla. There are plenty of mods for loads of different types of furnaces, this is to try to upgrade the vanilla version of minecraft furnaces.

Well, as long as you don't heat it to 1,984 degrees Fahrenheit it shouldn't melt.
If it was possible, could someone make a image for a iron furnace? Im not too great at making re-skins, and Id love to be able to put a image on here to show people what it would look like.
I had some ideas about furnace upgrades too. At first I though about an iron furnce but quickly realized how common iron is. If iron funaces were added to the game, everone would use the uprgade immediately. This would make the conventional furnaces useless. How about a diamond furnace??? Since diamonds are rare there would be little risk of overuse. If diamond furnaces were added to the game you could forge things 2 or 3 times as fast and use 2 or 3 times less fuel. Perhaps they could be crafted with four diamonds surrounding a normal furnace.
I like the idea of a slightly more efficient iron furnace, but perhaps furnaces of different materials could be decorative, requiring a basic furnace in the center of the grid to avoid mod conflicts, but ultimately being visual in effect.
Imagine having gold ranges for your castle, a mud oven for your nomadic hut, bricks for a pizzaria, lapis for a subterranean fortress, the possibilities are endless.
I like the idea! Better furnaces would be helpful! They could also perhaps occasionally proc to give bonus yields! For example I'm smelting iron and because I'm using a diamond furnace I put in 5 iron ore and get 12 iron ingots! Because each smelt can produce an exceptional result meaning bonus yield!
Things like that would make my beard very happy indeed!

a nice upgrade for those that want those cobble stacks to smelt a little faster

Agreed. If this was gonna go through, id just stick with the iron ingots be obtained, but faster smelting time.
