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.

Template:For Template:For Template:Infobox block A block of coal, also known as a coal block, is a storage block, equivalent to nine Minecraft:coal, that can also be used as Minecraft:fuel.
Obtaining
Breaking
Blocks of coal can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
Natural generation
Blocks of coal can generate in Minecraft:trail ruins.
Crafting
Blocks of coal can be crafted only from regular Minecraft:coal, not Minecraft:charcoal. It is crafted in the same way as other mineral blocks.
Usage
Blocks of coal are often used to store coal in a compact fashion, or otherwise used as a fairly cheap construction block.
Crafting ingredient
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 1Template:Frac 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.

Trivia
