Coal Ore

Coal ore is a mineral block that drops coal when mined.

Natural generation
Coal ore can generate in the Overworld in the form of mineral veins. Coal ore attempts to generate 20 times per chunk in veins of size 1-17, from levels 0 to 127, in all biomes.

Coal ore is also found in small amounts alongside underground fossils. As of Java Edition 1.16.4, on average they generate 207 ores per chunk.

Breaking
Coal ore must be mined with any pickaxe, or else it drops nothing. If mined with a pickaxe, coal ore drops 1 coal (or more with Fortune). If mined with Silk Touch, the block drops itself instead.

Note Blocks
Coal ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.
