	=== Fuel ===		=== Fuel ===
	Blocks of coal can be used as fuel in a [[Minecraft:furnace]]. One block of coal lasts 800 seconds (16000 ticks), which smelts 80 items. This is ten times the duration of a single piece of coal and 1{{frac\|1\|9}} times as efficient (+11.11%) as nine individual pieces of coal, which would only smelt 72 items. The latter, however, prevents inactive furnace use; while smelting one item with one coal wastes seven potential items, smelting one item with one block of coal wastes 79 potential items.
