Charcoal to coal
by B73
Charcoal to coal adds recipes that let charcoal and coal be crafted into each other, for players who want to convert one fuel into the other.
What it does
Charcoal to coal adds crafting recipes in both directions, so charcoal can be turned into coal and coal into charcoal. The author describes the recipes as a light change made for fun rather than a balance overhaul. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1 alone, and the MIT License applies, though the code is not open source.
Key features
Charcoal into coal
A crafting recipe converts charcoal into coal, letting players use a second source for the same fuel.
Coal into charcoal
A reverse recipe turns coal back into charcoal, so the two items can be swapped in either direction.
Nugget recipes
Two extra recipes involve nuggets, which the author added for variety alongside the main conversions.

What the author says
Makes coal be craftable into charcoal (and the other way around) Also adds nuggets for the two because i was bored. Crafted by two of the opposite ore. Note i will (probably) add a better way of crafting the two.
