About

Charcoal is a renewable fuel produced by smelting wood or wood variants in a furnace. It functions identically to coal as a fuel source and burns for the same duration, making it a practical alternative when coal is unavailable or when you want to avoid mining.

Charcoal stacks to 64 and can be given to players via /give @p minecraft:charcoal 1. Use it to fuel furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, or any machine that accepts standard fuel. Many servers use charcoal farms to automate fuel production for smelting operations.
