Nether Coal Mod

by Tazzy101

Nether Coal Mod adds a Nether variant of coal, mined from ore in the Nether, for players who want a second fuel source there.

FabricQuiltClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

Nether Coal ore generates naturally in the Nether Wastes, Crimson Forests and Warped Forests, at roughly the same frequency as nether quartz ore. The ore yields Nether Coal, which works as a fuel and yields eight torches per item. Nether Coal is described as roughly twice as strong as ordinary coal. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It requires Fabric API, and builds are published for Fabric and Quilt across two release versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.8, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Nether Coal ore

    Ore generates in the Nether Wastes, Crimson Forests and Warped Forests, close in frequency to nether quartz ore.

  2. Torch crafting

    A single Nether Coal crafts eight torches, so the fuel also serves as a lighting source.

  3. Custom textures

    The mod ships its own textures for the ore and the coal item, matching the Nether setting.
