Bamboo block into charcoal
by XiruScor
Bamboo block into charcoal is a Fabric data pack-style game mechanic that turns hewn and stripped bamboo blocks into charcoal in a furnace.
What it does
Players smelt hewn bamboo blocks and stripped bamboo blocks, and the result is charcoal, which can then be used as fuel or for crafting. The change sits in the smelting step, so a furnace handles the conversion without any new block or screen being added to the game.
The mod also adds fresh wood and fresh planks with 2D wood and plank textures, so bamboo-based building materials gain a matching look. Fabric API must be installed on the server alongside the mod, and the mod is required on the server while clients may leave it out. Files cover 1.20 – 26.2, and the newest build is 1.0.0 for 26.2, published on 2026-08-11.
Bamboo block into charcoal is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author points to an issue tracker for bug reports and suggestions. The mod was first published on 2025-03-08 and last updated on 2026-08-11.
