Coal is a common resource obtained primarily by mining coal ore blocks with a pickaxe. It serves as a crucial fuel source for smelting and cooking in furnaces, and can also be used to craft torches, providing light and deterring hostile mobs. Additionally, coal is tradable with villagers and can be found in chest loot across various structures. It is also possible to create it by smelting wood blocks in a furnace.
