When used in a [[Minecraft:furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of coal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), like [[Minecraft:charcoal]]. Coal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[Minecraft:wood planks]] or wood logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting {{in|je}}, but outlasted by [[Minecraft:wooden slab]]s {{in|be}}. Though when smelting large amounts of items, converting the coal into a [[Minecraft:Block of Coal]] is even more efficient since 1 block of coal is made out of 9 coal but lasts 10 times as long as coal.

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecraft:furnace minecart]]s. They provide three minutes of transit each.

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox item Coal is a mineral Minecraft:item mainly obtained from coal ore. It is primarily used for crafting torches and Minecraft:campfires, in addition to being used as fuel.

Obtaining

Mining

Coal ore when mined using a Minecraft:pickaxe drops 1 piece of coal. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra piece per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 with Fortune III.

Fuel

When used in a Minecraft:furnace as a fuel, a piece of coal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), like Minecraft:charcoal. Coal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than wood planks or wood logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting in Template:Editions, but outlasted by wooden slabs in Template:Editions. Though when smelting large amounts of items, converting the coal into a Minecraft:Block of Coal is even more efficient since 1 block of coal is made out of 9 coal but lasts 10 times as long as coal.

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by furnace minecarts. They provide three minutes of transit each.
