Minecraft:Coal

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

Obtaining

Mining

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

Usage

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 Minecraft:wood planks or wood logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting Template:In, but outlasted by Minecraft:wooden slabs Template:In. 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 minecarts. They provide three minutes of transit each.
