Block of Coal
Jun
This article is regarding the mineral block. For the ore, check out Coal Ore. For the item, refer to Coal.
A coal block is a storage unit, equal to nine pieces of coal, that can also function as a source of energy.
Obtaining[]
Coal blocks can be extracted using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it yields nothing.

Fuel[]
One coal block can be used as fuel in a furnace. It smelts 80 items, lasting for 800 seconds (16000 ticks). This is as efficient as nine individual pieces of coal, and the duration of a single piece of coal is ten times longer. However, using one coal block would only smelt 72 items as nine individual pieces of coal, and using one coal block prevents the furnace from being inactive. On the other hand, smelting one item with one coal wastes seven potential items. Similarly, smelting items potential 79 wastes one coal block with one item, while using the furnace prevents the latter from being inactive. Additionally, smelting one item with one coal wastes seven potential items, and smelting items potential 79 wastes one coal block with items potential 79.
Note Blocks[]
A chunk of coal can be placed beneath musical blocks to generate “bass drum” sounds.
