Charcoal is a fuel item obtained by smelting logs or wood in a furnace. It functions similarly to coal, but the two cannot be stacked together. Charcoal is a renewable alternative to coal, making it useful for long-term fuel production.

Charcoal can be used to craft torches, campfires, and soul torches, just like coal. It also serves as a fuel source, smelting eight items per piece, making it a reliable option for players without access to coal deposits.

Since Charcoal is obtained from wood, it is an excellent fuel source for sustainable survival gameplay, especially when combined with tree farms. Its availability and versatility make it a valuable alternative for crafting and smelting in Minecraft.
