A mud kiln is a block that fires clay, sand and stone. It replaces the smoker and works like one, with fuel, but instead of cooking food it is the pack's early kiln: it makes bricks, glass, terracotta and smooth stone before the player has an oven or a blast furnace. Most food put in it comes out charred.
Obtaining
Crafting
| Name | Ingredients | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Mud Kiln | 4 × Mud Bricks + 2 × Packed Mud + Kindling |
The mud kiln needs 4 mud bricks, 2 packed mud and a kindling.[1] The vanilla smoker recipe is removed. Crafting one grants the advancement Ancient Technology.
Packed mud can be made from mud and straw, or from dirt and short dry grass, so a mud kiln is reachable with only kindling and a hoe.
Usage
Kilning
Most kiln recipes are set to 200 ticks. In Minecraft 26.3 a smoker cooks twice as fast as a furnace, so they take 5 seconds, as in a vanilla smoker. Raw copper takes 10 seconds and a wet sponge 2.5. The table lists every recipe and its experience.[2]

Food
The mud kiln cooks only four foods. Dough becomes naan, and raw meat, fish and potatoes become charred meat, charred fish and charred potatoes, which heal less than food cooked in an oven or on kindling.[3] See Cooking#Charring.
Advancements
- Ancient Technology: construct a kiln from packed mud and mud bricks.
History
| 1.03 | Charcoal and all glazed terracotta can be made in the kiln. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Quartz can be kilned into glass and amethyst into tinted glass. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | Added stone, cobblestone, sand, sandstone, red sandstone, terracotta and sponge kilning. |
| 1.12.3 | The kiln chars any fish. |
| 1.12.6-alpha | For Minecraft 26.3, where a smoker cooks at double speed, every kiln recipe has twice as many ticks (most 200 instead of 100), so kilning takes as long as before.[4] |
| 1.12.9 October 31, 2026 |
Deepslate can be fired into polished deepslate.[5] |
