Miniature Coal

by gamingoninsulin

Miniature Coal adds smaller coal and charcoal items, plus blaze clay pieces that come from smelting in a blast furnace, for the Fabric loader.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.4

What it does

Smelting one item in a furnace gives miniature coal or miniature charcoal, and a crafted piece of coal or charcoal yields nine miniature pieces. The miniature items work as fuel and are grouped with the other coal-related content, so they fit into the existing fuel system.

Blaze clay comes in two forms. A blaze clay ball is a crafting item, and four of them arranged in a 2x2 or 3x3 grid make one blaze clay block, while a crafted block returns four balls. Blaze clay balls can be smelted in a blast furnace into a blaze clay brick, which is an item smelted once. The mod is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.4, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and questions and suggestions are taken through the issue page.

How it compares

Full comparison

SLA - Fuel Pellets is also a fuel-focused Fabric mod, but it is published for 1.21 – 1.21.8, not 1.20.4. Crafting+ is a Fabric mod for 1.20.4 that needs only the server, so clients can join without installing it, while Miniature Coal needs both sides. Smelt Clay & Terracotta in Blast Furnaces covers clay smelting in blast furnaces across several loaders, and it is also an option that needs only the server, where Miniature Coal requires the client and server.
