How can I get more coal?
Posted On: January 11, 2023

I'm running out of fuel and need some coal. I have no trees and I don't want to waste the little wood I have left. How can I find more?


Question from user Young Guilo at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

How can you get more coal?


You can burn Wood to make Charcoal (Don't confuse with coal), but you can also harvest coal from Coal ore blocks.


Coal ore is a block common in almost all maps and elevation, you can easily found them by digging. .


"Just dig" - SevenSidedDie.


You are running out of fuel?


If you are using it in powered minecarts, Coal and Charcoal are the only option, otherwise if it's for a furnace, Coal is not the only source of fuel. Coal is the 3rd most efficient fuel but you can use also almost any type of Wood, Blaze Rods and Lava Buckets to fuel it, being the Blaze Rods and Lava Buckets the 2nd and 1st most efficient fuels.


You are running out of trees? .


When cutting trees clean also the foliage, it gives you Saplings that you can use for reforest some areas or simply plant where the trees was.


Saplings grow on dirt or grass blocks, and can grow into a tree if provided by light and air above them.

Charcoal is very slightly different from Coal. It cannot be used for crafting the upcoming coal block, and does not stack with coal.
