'''Charcoal''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] obtained by smelting [[Minecraft:log]]s or [[Minecraft:wood]]. It is used as [[Minecraft:Smelting|fuel]], or for crafting [[Minecraft:torch]]es and [[Minecraft:campfire]]s. Unlike [[Minecraft:coal]], charcoal cannot be traded with [[Minecraft:villager]]s or crafted into a [[Minecraft:block of coal]]. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox item Charcoal is an Minecraft:item obtained by smelting Minecraft:logs or Minecraft:wood. It is used as fuel, or for crafting Minecraft:torches and Minecraft:campfires. Unlike Minecraft:coal, charcoal cannot be traded with Minecraft:villagers or crafted into a block of coal. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.
