Create: Coal Recipe
by itzdragoncze
Create: Coal Recipe is a Create add-on that gives players a crushing recipe for coal, so coal can be automated from scoria.
What it does
The add-on adds a recipe in which a Crushing Wheel processes scoria and returns 75% coal. Players can set up a line in Create that produces coal without mining it, which suits worlds where coal runs short. The recipe ships as a datapack, so it can be dropped into a world's datapacks folder and removed again the same way.
Create: Coal Recipe requires Create, which must be installed on the same side as this mod. The server needs the mod; players may add it for the recipe to show up in their recipe viewers. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and a datapack version is available for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Automated coal
Scoria crushed by a Crushing Wheel yields 75% coal, letting a Create setup produce coal automatically.
Recipe viewer support
Use Enough Items and JEI can display the recipe in-game, so players can check it without leaving the world.
Datapack install
A .zip datapack can be placed in a world's datapacks folder to add the recipe without installing a mod file.

Use cases
Coal-poor worlds
Servers or single-player worlds where coal is scarce can use the crushing line to keep a steady supply.
Who it’s for: Players who already run Create machinery and want coal as a byproduct of crushing scoria, and server owners who prefer a datapack route with no extra mod file.
