 Description   

*This is not a bug. I realized it was my error after posting
Furnace randomly stops smelting – breaking or placing more doesn't correct the issue, nor does reloading the game from the main menu. Below I've attached an image showing me attempting to smelt iron, however the progress bar doesn't move at all. Changing items doesn't help either.

I cannot provide the steps to reproduce the issue, as all I did was return from mining and attempt to smelt my iron. It happened randomly.

I hate to say it, but I got overly confused. Don't know what it was, but I realize now that I was trying to smelt iron instead of the ore. Silly me. I have zero idea why that happened. I'd even been smelting less than a minute before! Maybe I should take a break.

You don't smelt iron. You smelt iron ore to get iron.
This is Works As Intended.
Ps Ethan didn't say search for your bug but he was saying research it as this issue shows a lack of knowledge of how this part of the game is supposed to function.

I don't know if my Google skills are bad, or if I just really don't understand this bug tracker, but I tried. I found a related issue but it was marked as incomplete and didn't have any specific info. Apologies.

RESEARCH before reporting a bug! not being able to smelt iron is intended.
