It’s hard to deny that Redstone has become essential in Minecraft Survival. Most high-capacity Minecraft Farms rely on critical Redstone components to function correctly and efficiently. One of the biggest downsides to Minecraft Redstone creations is the complexity. If you are not a Redstone professional and still want Redstone creations in your Minecraft Survival world, this article is for you. Using the Minecraft Schematica Mod, we will explore how easy it is to start building game-changing Redstone machinery. Keep reading to learn more!
What is the Minecraft Schematica mod?
The Minecraft Schematica Mod is a Minecraft modification that allows you to create a faint overlay of pre-existing structures in your world. Using various Schematica features, you can use the mod to create a blueprint for building. The main benefit of using the Schematica mod is that all the information you need to create a structure is displayed in-game, which means you do not need to follow videos or articles to copy existing structures.
Because we will provide Schematica files for all the builds in this article, we will start with a brief overview of how to use the Schematica Mod. The first step is the install the mod, which is easiest to do using
Badlion Client. Badlion Client is a mod pack/client which contains many useful Minecraft Mods, Schematica being one of them. By downloading Badlion Client, you can start using Schematica and other mods with just one download.
Once you have installed Badlion Client, you can begin adding and loading schematics! Since the primary focus of this article is Redstone creations, we won’t go into detail regarding how to use the Schematica Mod. However, if needed,
you can find a full explanation here.
#1 Minecraft Super Smelter
Later in your Minecraft Survival experience, when you have stacks of ores to smelt, manual rows of furnaces just won’t cut it. Enter the Minecraft Super Smelter. This Minecraft creation has two main functions. First, it allows you to smelt a large number of items in a short amount of time. Second, it can automatically handle the smelting process, from fueling the furnaces to collecting items.
The primary mechanism that allows the Minecraft Super Smelter to be so efficient is the equal distribution of items. Using two rows of rails and three rows of hoppers, the Minecraft Super Smelter takes items from a central chest and distributes the items evenly into a set of furnaces. One of the most significant benefits of the Minecraft Super Smelter is that it is entirely scalable. In other words, the number of furnaces that make up the Minecraft Smelter is up to you. In addition, the Minecraft Super Smelter is not resource intensive and is reasonably simple to make.
How to make a Minecraft Super Smelter
To make a Minecraft Super Smelter, you will need the following items:
- 1x Redstone Block
- 6x Chests
- 8x Cobblestone / Building Blocks
- 9x Furnaces

- 20x Powered Rail
- 2x Rail
Download Minecraft Super Smelter SchematicOnce you have collected the required materials, download the Minecraft Super Smelter schematic above and start building! Note the quantities for each item are adjustable as needed to fit your desired smelter size. In addition, yellow wool serves as a placeholder for wooden chests to represent proper chest placement within the schematic. Finally, you will need to add two additional Minecraft Hopper Minecarts at the chest end of the smelter. When the build is complete, the chest end of the smelter should look like the image below.

#4 Minecraft Item Sorter
Most Minecraft Survival creations aim to take previously tedious tasks and make them automated. This is the exact goal of the Minecraft Item Sorter. As the name implies, the Minecraft Item Sorter sorts items into various chests or locations. The benefits of using an Item Sorter are numerous. Imagine if you wanted to create an iron farm but only wanted to keep iron ingots and have poppy flowers thrown out. You could use an item sorter to send Iron Ingots to storage chests while sending all poppies to a disposal system.

Depending on whether your Minecraft version allows adjacent chests, you may need to adjust the design. Lastly, before using the Item Sorter in Minecraft, you must set up the hopper system for the item you want to sort. To do this, add at least 41 blocks of the item you wish to sort, along with four filler blocks taking up the remaining hopper slots, to a hopper in the middle row. Repeat this process for all the items you want to sort. Below is an example of how it should look for sorting Sand, Dirt, and Cobble Stone.
