Creation
Charcoal is created in charcoal pits, which are chambers or spaces where enclosed stacks of firewood are burned.
Building a Charcoal Pit
- Place firewood in stacks. (Players may choose to dig a pit, as shown in the graphic below, or place stacks above ground.)
- Create an airtight shell by enclosing the stacks in dirt blocks or any non-combustible block, but leave one block on top of the pit open.
- Build a firepit directly on top of the accessible stack of firewood at the top of the pit.
- Quickly seal the pit by placing one block on top of the fire pit. (Players have 30 seconds to seal the shell or the process will not work)
- The pile will create smoke particles, indicating that the process is taking place.
- When the pile stops smoking (18 game hours), the process is complete.
- Remove the shell and collect the charcoal using bare hands or a shovel
Dimensions and Considerations
- If the charcoal pile is not sealed within 30 seconds of ignition, charcoal will not be produced and the firewood will burn to ash.
- The maximum size of any charcoal pit extends 11 blocks in any direction. The largest volume of material that can be processed in one pit is therefore 11³ or 1,331 blocks.
Usage
Charcoal is the first type of fuel capable of generating temperatures high enough (1300°C) to smelt metal ores such as Copper (1084°C) Charcoal can also be used as the (Carbon Black) pigment, to label chests and signs.
Storage
Charcoal may be carried in player inventory, or stored in containers.
