What it does

Peat is found in the earth and can be made by combining nine Peat into one Lignite. Peat yields a dozen torches with a dim light value, smelts four items, and a Peat Block smelts sixteen items. Peat can also be combined with a Cobblestone to get a Mossy Cobblestone, and blocks of four Peat combine into a Peat Block. Lignite generates in the world between heights 0 and 128, with 10 tries per chunk in veins of 1 to 8 blocks, and a Lignite Ore drops 1 to 4 Lignite.

Lignite yields ten torches with a slightly brighter light value, smelts six items, and a Lignite Block smelts twenty-four items. A Coal item is made by combining two Lignite with seven Peat, and Coal yields eight torches with a brighter light value and smelts eight items. A Coal Block smelts thirty-two items and is made from four Lignite Blocks. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires ModLoader and ModloaderMP Unofficial v2 on Forge V1.0.6, and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

    Each new coal type makes its own torches with a set light value and gives a set number of smelting items.

What the author says

This mod adds in 4 new coals from real life, Torches, and Blocks for each. This was originally going to be a kind of realistic coal mod then I realized through research that there is actually a lot that goes into coal, their uses, temps, etc. So it just got turn more into a coal overhual.
