A '''block of coal''' is a mineral block that can also be used as a [[fuel]].<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
<br />
Blocks of coal can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.<br />
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Block of Coal|Pickaxe|Wood}}<br />
<br />
=== Crafting ===<br />
<br />
Blocks of coal can be crafted only from regular [[coal]], not [[charcoal]]. It is crafted in the same way as other mineral blocks.<br />

<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Blocks of coal are often used to store coal in a compact fashion, or otherwise used as a fairly cheap construction block.<br />
<br />
=== Crafting ingredient ===<br />

<br />
=== Fuel ===<br />
Blocks of coal can be used as fuel in a [[furnace]]. One block of coal lasts 800 seconds (16000 ticks), which smelts 80 items. This is ten times the duration of a single piece of coal and 1{{frac|1|9}} times as efficient (+11.11%) as nine individual pieces of coal- which would only smelt 72 items. The latter however prevents inactive furnace use. While smelting one item with one coal wastes 7 potential items, smelting one item with one coal block wastes 79 potential items.<br />
<br />
=== Note Blocks ===<br />
Block of coal can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sound.<br />

{{History||2.0|[[File:Block of Coal JE1.png|32px]] Added blocks of coal to the April Fool's 'update', [[Java Edition 2.0|Minecraft 2.0]], using a recolored version of the [[Block of Redstone]] texture. It could not be used as fuel and was only a compact block. When crafted back to coal, it would have an item data value of 32767 instead of 0, so it could not be stacked with other coal.}}<br />

== Issues ==<br />
<br />
{{issue list}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Blocks of coal cannot be used as fuel for the [[minecart with furnace]].<br />
* A full stack of coal blocks should smelt for 14.2 hours – over 42 Minecraft days. That is over fifty times as many items as a [[lava bucket]]. However, the player needs 576 coal or 9 stacks of coal to do this.<br />
