Coal Ore

Coal Ore is a mineral that is a common sight on almost all maps. It is found inside caverns, cliff faces, and underground. A lump of coal can be mined from Coal ore using a wooden pickaxe or better. Coal lumps can be combined with sticks to make torches, or used as fuel in a furnace or Minecart. When burned in a furnace, it provides 8 uses for each coal "lump".

In Survival mode, it gives the player 1 to 4 step blocks. In creative mode it can be placed by players as of 0.28.

Currently in Minecraft Alpha, mining coal yields one lump of coal. Coal blocks are very common to find and are the only ore to appear well above sea level.
