While a fireplace has no specific function in Minecraft, it adds a nice touch to your home. Follow this guide to learn how to build a brick fireplace with a chimney in Minecraft.

Steps

Making Brick Blocks for Your Fireplace

  1. Mine clay blocks. You can obtain clay blocks from shallow water, and you should mine them with a shovel.
  2. Break your clay blocks into 4 clay balls. Add a clay ball and a fuel source, like coal, to your furnace, to smelt bricks.
  3. Craft bricks into brick blocks by placing 4 bricks into your crafting spots.

Making a Brick Fireplace with a Chimney

  1. Dig out a 2 brick by 4 brick hole up to the ceiling on an exterior wall of your base.
  2. Dig out the 2 bricks on the floor in the center of the hole you just made.
  3. Line the hole with brick blocks. Place 2 netherrack in the floor holes and cover the rest of the fireplace 1 block deeper, if you want a fireplace escape route make the fireplace either 1x2x3 or 2x2x3(these dimensions are: height x width x length/back) with a hallway that leads somewhere safe(to be extra safe add a sword or bow and arrows) and a minecart behind where the flame will be.(it will work even if the fire is... flaming, but just in case add some water 7 blocks away)
  4. Extend the chimney as high as you want out of the side of your base.
  5. Light up the netherrack with your flint and steel to complete your fireplace.

Tips

  • Add metal bars in front of the fire to avoid spreading.
  • Netherrack will burn until you (the player) put it out.
  • If you are really worried about your wood house burning down, turn your wood planks into wood half slabs. You don't lose any material because three wood planks equals six half slabs. It just takes longer to place them.
  • If you don't have netherrack, you can mine it in the Nether using a pickaxe.
  • If you don't have a nether portal or nether-rack, use wood.

Warnings

  • If you have wood blocks or wood stairs less than 4 blocks above the fire or above adjacent blocks, then your wood will ignite. Make sure that you build up your brick fireplace lining so that it is thick enough to prevent fires.
