Building a Charcoal Pit

1. Place firewood in stacks. (Players may choose to dig a pit, as shown in the graphic below, or place stacks above ground.)
2. 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.
3. Build a firepit directly on top of the accessible stack of firewood at the top of the pit.
4. As of 1.12.7, you need to ignite the firepit with a firestarter or a torch.
5. 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)
6. The pile will create smoke particles, indicating that the process is taking place.
7. When the pile stops smoking (18 game hours), the process is complete.
8. Remove the shell and collect the charcoal using bare hands or a shovel
