A Block of Coal is a compact block crafted from nine pieces of coal in a 3×3 crafting grid. To create a Block of Coal, simply arrange nine coal items in the crafting interface. This block has a dark texture, resembling a more condensed form of coal.
Block of Coal serves both functional and decorative purposes in Minecraft. It can be used as a fuel source in furnaces, providing an efficient and longer-lasting alternative to individual coal items. When used as fuel, a Block of Coal smelts ten items, while a single piece of coal only smelts eight.
Beyond its functional use, players often incorporate Blocks of Coal into building projects for aesthetic reasons. The dark texture can be used to add contrast or create intricate patterns in architectural designs.
