Coal Nuggets

by pajic

Coal Nuggets, by pajic, adds coal and charcoal nuggets that can be crafted, smelted and used as fuel or as a torch ingredient.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Eight coal or charcoal nuggets combine into one coal or charcoal piece, and a single piece smelts back into one item of nuggets. Nuggets also serve as a fuel in a furnace, where each nugget burns for a shorter time than a full piece, and they appear in the recipe for a single torch alongside a stick. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Nugget crafting

    Coal and charcoal pieces split into eight nuggets each, and nuggets are crafted back into pieces.

  2. Smelting nuggets

    Nuggets smelt into a single item, so the conversion works in both directions through a furnace.

  3. Torch and fuel recipes

    Nuggets fill the torch recipe and burn in a furnace or minecart, lasting a shorter time than a full piece.
