No More Charcoal
No More Charcoal changes what furnaces and smokers produce from wood logs, so that coal is made instead of charcoal.
What it does
Smelting wood logs yields coal in place of charcoal. Because coal stacks with other coal in chests and inventories, the result takes up less storage and clutters inventories less. Coal can also be crafted into coal blocks, which use even less storage than loose coal.
Villagers accept coal in trades where they would not accept charcoal, which the author presents as one of the main advantages of coal over charcoal. The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the data pack form is available as well. Builds cover 1.20.3 – 1.21.10, and the latest file for 1.21.4 was published on 2025-03-02. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
