More Coal+
by jacob7870.
More Coal+ lets players craft coal into ingots, nuggets and blocks, and turns a coal iron pickaxe into a tool that sets things on fire when right-clicked.
What it does
Coal, which vanilla leaves mostly as fuel, gets a set of recipes in this mod. Four coal combine into a coal ingot, one coal ingot splits into nine coal nuggets, and two coal ingots shape into a coal block. Those shapeless recipes let a player move between the three forms as the build needs.
A coal iron pickaxe is added as well. Right-clicking with it creates fire, so the tool fits players who want a fire source tied to their mining. The mod is built for 1.20.1 on Forge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The package is released as All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Coal ingots
Four coal combine into a coal ingot, giving coal a second crafting step before it becomes a block.
Coal nuggets
A coal ingot splits into nine coal nuggets through a shapeless recipe, and the reverse crafts them back.
Coal block recipe
Two coal ingots form a coal block without a shaped grid, so the block is reachable from the ingot stage.
Coal iron pickaxe
A pickaxe made from coal and iron lights fires when right-clicked, adding a use beyond mining.

Use cases
Storing coal compactly
Coal blocks take less inventory space than loose coal, which suits players who collect a lot of fuel.
Who it’s for: Players on a Forge 1.20.1 world who want more to do with coal, and server owners who want the same recipes for every player.
