How to make charcoal in my world

There are no minerals on the map. In NPC village, you can make charcoal with wooden squares.

If you use a hyperplane map to play survival mode, and there are no minerals in the map, you can make charcoal with wooden squares in NPC Village.

Making wood into charcoal is undoubtedly more efficient than using wood itself as fuel. If you break a block of wood into boards, you can burn 6 items and 8 items after making charcoal.

If you start with a piece of charcoal or coal, you can make 8 pieces of wood into 8 pieces of charcoal, which is equivalent to 7 pieces of charcoal.

If there is no charcoal, take seven pieces of wood, make one of them into a board, then use four boards as fuel and burn the other six pieces of wood into charcoal. These six pieces of charcoal can burn 48 items, while seven pieces of wood can only burn 42 items, so this process can burn 14% more items than before.

Charcoal is obtained by renaming coal's class file directly in the source code, which explains why they behave exactly the same.

Because charcoal and coal have different data values, they cannot be stacked.

There is no charcoal in the item column of the creation mode, and charcoal can only be obtained by burning. However, after the preview version of 12w2 1b, charcoal can already be found in the creation mode item column, together with coal. After 13w 19a, the materials of wood coal and coal are different.
