No Coal
by No Mods
No Coal removes coal from the game, so players must find other fuel for torches and smelting in early survival.
What it does
Coal is taken out of the game, along with its ore, raw coal drops, and loot chest and villager trade entries. Torches can no longer be crafted with coal, and furnaces cannot smelt with it. Players rely on charcoal, lava buckets and other renewable fuels instead. The change makes caves darker and smelting slower, which stretches out early progression. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.10, and is licensed as All rights reserved.
Installation requires only the mod file on a Fabric server. Because the mod is server-side only, clients need nothing extra.
