About Coal Block
The Coal Block is a compact storage block made from nine pieces of coal. It is mainly used to save inventory space or as a powerful furnace fuel.
Key facts:
- Burns long enough to smelt 80 items, slightly more than the 72 you would get from nine separate coal.
- Can be crafted back into nine coal whenever you need the individual pieces again.
- Works in blast furnaces and smokers just like it does in a regular furnace.
It also makes a decent building block if you want a dark, sooty texture.
How to get Coal Block
You can only get Coal Blocks by crafting them from nine coal. They are not found in chests or dropped by mobs. Because they are purely a crafted storage block, the only route is to mine or collect enough coal and combine it on a crafting table.
