__TOC__ | |||
== 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#stacking firewood|firewood in stacks]]. | |||
# 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 stack of accessible 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#stationary containers|containers]]. | |||
