coal ore drops more coal
by photoedfade
coal ore drops more coal is a Fabric data pack that changes how Coal Ore yields when mined.
What it does
When the data pack is enabled, mining Coal Ore drops a larger amount of coal than the vanilla block. The amount is sometimes two and sometimes three per block, following the pattern Copper Ore already uses. The author built it so coal mining takes less time to run out, and gives coal the same treatment that copper, lapis and redstone ores receive. Only the server needs the data pack; players connect without installing anything. Files are published for 1.21.1, with 1.0 as the latest build from 2025-11-26, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and not open source.
Key features
Extra coal per ore
Each Coal Ore block yields two or three coal instead of the single vanilla drop.
Copper-style drop pattern
The drop rule follows the logic already used for Copper Ore, so coal behaves like the other ores.
Simple setup
The change is a data pack, so it needs no code, and it can be turned off by removing the pack.

What the author says
The way it works is very simple. When you mine Coal Ore with this datapack enabled, it drops more coal. This is just like how Copper Ore works. The amount that is dropped is sometimes 2, and sometimes 3. This makes coal mining less annoying in my personal opinion, and also makes it so you run out less. Coal isn't…
