The block of coal is a mineral block that can also be used as a fuel.
Obtaining
Blocks of coal can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.
| Block | Block of Coal | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 5 | |
| Tool | ||
| Breaking time[A] | ||
| Default | 25 | |
| Wooden | 3.75 | |
| Stone | 1.9 | |
| Iron | 1.25 | |
| Diamond | 0.95 | |
| Netherite | 0.85 | |
| Golden | 0.65 | |
- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Crafting
Blocks of coal can only be crafted with regular coal, not charcoal. It is crafted in the same way as other mineral blocks. In the console edition, they are crafted with regular coal but they drop charcoal instead.

Usage
Blocks of coal are often used to store coal in a compact fashion, or otherwise used as a fairly cheap construction block.
Crafting ingredient
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | Block of Coal |
Fuel
Blocks of coal can be used as fuel in a furnace. One block of coal lasts 800 seconds, which smelts 80 items. This is ten times the duration of a single piece of coal and 11⁄9 times as efficient as singular pieces of coal.

1.6.1Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions:
The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:
Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior. These varieties are:

Issues
Issues relating to "Block of Coal" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- Cannot be crafted using charcoal due to logical issues with crafting and destroying.[1]
- Blocks of coal cannot be used as fuel for the minecart with furnace.
- A full stack of coal blocks should smelt for 14.2 hours – over 42 Minecraft days.
- That is a little over fifty times as many items as a lava bucket.
- However, you will need 576 coal or 9 stacks of coal to do this.
