Coal is an common item in Minecraft obtained from mining Coal Ore and killing Wither Skeletons. Coal is necessary for survival: it is for crafting Torches, and, should you become trapped in the Nether by a Ghast, is for crafting Fire Charges. Coal is fairly common.
How to obtain
- Kill Wither Skeletons
- Mine Coal Ore with a Wooden Pickaxe or higher
Crafting
- When combined with Blaze Powder and Gunpowder, it makes 3 Fire Charges.
- When put on top of a Stick, it makes 4 Torches.
Smelting
- Smelt 1/8 of a stack of items (8 items)
Trivia
- Coal, Iron Ingots and Redstone are the only ore-obtained resources to be dropped by any mob (Wither Skeletons, Zombies and Witches respectively)
- Coal is, as a fuel, equivalent to Charcoal.
