This article is about the coal lump and charcoal item. For the ore which produces it, see Coal Ore.

Coal lumps are items harvested from coal ore blocks. They are the fourth most efficient fuel available for furnaces (after Lava Buckets, Coal Blocks, and Blaze Rods), being able to smelt eight units per lump of coal. Coal lumps and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by powered minecarts (providing approximately four minutes of transit each).

Charcoal is an alternative to coal. Smelting wood in a furnace creates charcoal, which can be used for most of the same things coal can, except for crafting blocks of coal. Charcoal makes it easier for players to survive their first night as it allows them to craft torches much more easily. Charcoal does not stack with coal.

Obtaining

The main difference between coal and charcoal is in the methods of obtaining.

From ore

The most common method of obtaining regular coal is by breaking a block of coal ore, which drops one coal item, or more if broken with a pickaxe with the Fortune enchantment.

Coal ore can be found at any elevation, wherever there is stone. It is the most abundant ore, and can be found in veins of 5 or more, up to 32. Coal has a 2/3 chance of dropping experience when mined.

Smelting coal ore is wasteful and usually pointless: The ore could be placed and mined to get at least as much coal, with no fuel needed. (Smelting always yields a single unit, but mining with a Fortune-enchanted pickaxe can get more.) Coal ore as an item can only be obtained by using a Silk Touch pickaxe.

The second recipe makes charcoal a renewable resource. If the player is on a superflat map that doesn't contain ores, wood blocks from NPC Villages can be smelted into charcoal. This allows for the creation of torches, which are otherwise in short supply.

From Wither Skeletons

A Wither Skeleton may drop a coal lump upon death. This makes regular coal a renewable resource.

Usage

As a crafting ingredient

The only purpose for which coal could be considered required is the creation of torches, which are essential for prolonged underground exploration — although there are other permanent light sources, none come close in terms of convenience and availability. Carrying a full stack of coal and 8 Wood allows you to craft up to 256 torches. Perhaps the next-best alternative to coal-based lighting would be Netherrack, which, if manually ignited, burns forever. They can also be used to make Blocks of Coal, a good fuel to smelt.

In the Pocket Edition, as well as the Xbox 360 edition, there are two separate crafting recipes for torches: one is for natural coal, and the other is for charcoal.

As a fuel

When used in a furnace as a fuel, a coal lump or piece of charcoal lasts 80 seconds (8 operations).

Coal lumps and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by powered minecarts (providing approximately four minutes of transit each).

Efficiency

Wood and wood products can be used for smelting directly. A more efficient (but also more time-consuming) approach is to smelt wood into charcoal, which can be used for smelting. Wood and wood product smelting yields are shown in the table below.

It is fairly efficient to turn one wood block into wood planks, and then use those planks to smelt more wood into charcoal. This process can smelt 6.85 items per wood block.

It is more efficient to turn wood blocks into charcoal, and use those to smelt more wood into charcoal. This can smelt 7 items per wood block.

It is most efficient to use two saplings (which are a free by-product of chopping wood) to smelt a wood block into charcoal, and then use the charcoal for smelting. This process does not waste any wood, and therefore can smelt 8 items per wood block.

Notice that the 2nd video says that Charcoal looks the same as coal, and in the first video, the video doesn't show a crafting recipe for Blocks of Coal. These videos could have been outdated. As of 1.6, Charcoal's texture has changed to look different and Blocks of Coal were added. These videos, could, at some point been taken in 1.5.2 or earlier.

The fallowing video demonstrates how you can make Charcoal with an automatic furnace set-up.

'''Glowstone dust''' is an [[item]] obtained from mining [[glowstone]], and is mainly used to create [[potion]]s with increased strength and decreased duration.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When broken using anything other than a [[Silk Touch]]-enchanted [[tool]], a [[glowstone]] block drops 2-4 glowstone dust. A [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the chances of higher drops, with Fortune III allowing an average yield of 3.5 glowstone dust per block.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–6 glowstone dust upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-15 glowstone dust. <!-- Do not add the blaze as it is in violation of MCW:UPTODATE due to the Legacy Console Edition being discontinued. Any edit that adds the blaze to this section will be immediately reverted. -->

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one glowstone dust for 4 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.

* [[Regeneration]] level II {{in|java}} or V {{in|bedrock}} for 30 seconds ({{in|java}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 20 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|16}} points of damage; {{in|bedrock}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 6 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 1.66 per second for 30 seconds, which is long enough to heal up to {{hp|100}} points of damage.
* [[Fire Resistance]] I for 5 minutes
* [[Resistance]] I (20% reduced damage from all sources except the [[void]]) for 5 minutes

=== Horses ===
Enchanted golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a [[horse]] by 10%, for [[breeding]] and leading horses, and for speeding up the growth of [[baby]] horses by 4 minutes.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Enchanted Golden Apple|match=start}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to enchanted golden apples and run toward any enchanted golden apples on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat enchanted golden apples (or any [[food]]).

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

A '''potato''' is a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from potato crops that can be used to plant them, consumed raw or [[cook]]ed to make [[baked potato]]es.

'''Potato crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow potatoes and, rarely, [[Poisonous Potato|poisonous potatoes]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of being planted with potatoes. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 70%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 15%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|taiga-village}} Taiga || 10%
|}

Fully grown potato crops drop 2 to 5 potatoes ({{frac|3|5|7}} per crop harvested on average) and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional [[poisonous potato]]. Potato yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} potatoes. [[Bone meal]] can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth.

The first two potatoes always drop, and then three more attempts are made to drop a potato with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an [[iron ingot]], [[carrot]], or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives potatoes the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III
If a zombie, husk, or zombie villager is killed with fire, it drops a baked potato instead.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|potato}}

== Usage ==

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}
When farmed, potatoes require 8 [[Block tick|stages]] to grow. However, there are four ''visible'' stages due to having only four distinct textures: every two stages have the same texture, except that growth stage 7 keeps the same appearance as stages 5–6, so that only stage 8 has the final, mature appearance. Planted potatoes require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant potatoes if the light level is too low.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. Using [[bone meal]] on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

=== Food ===
To eat a potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating a potato restores {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Breeding ===
[[Pig]]s follow and can be [[bred]] by a player holding a potato.

[[Villager]]s can pick up potato items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 potatoes to become willing.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Potato
|Baked Potato
|0.35
}}

=== Trading ===
Novice-level farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 26 potatoes for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Composting ===
Placing a potato into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. This is less efficient than composting with [[Baked Potato|baked potatoes]], which has a higher success chance of 85%.

A '''golden apple''' is a [[food]] item that bestows beneficial effects when consumed, and is also used to cure a [[Zombie Villager|zombie villager]] under the [[Weakness]] effect into a normal [[villager]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|B1= Gold Ingot

|A2= Gold Ingot
|B2= Apple
|C2= Gold Ingot
|A3= Gold Ingot
|B3= Gold Ingot
|C3= Gold Ingot
|Output= Golden Apple
|type= Foodstuff
}}

=== Chest loot ===
On the base of <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, a single golden apple is contained in the [[chest]]. Eating it at that location unlocks the [[piston]] doors to the [[redstone]] labs beneath.
{{LootChestItem|golden-apple}}

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a golden apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores {{hunger|4}} points of hunger and 9.6 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

Unlike most foods, golden apples can be eaten when the hunger bar is full.

The golden apple provides: 
*[[Absorption]] I for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|4|absorption=1}} points of absorption health)
*[[Regeneration]] II ({{hp|1}} every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 5 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|4}} points of damage)

=== Curing zombie villagers ===
{{main|Zombie Villager#Curing}}

A golden apple and a [[potion of weakness]] can be used to convert a [[zombie villager]] into a regular [[villager]].

=== Horses ===
Golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a [[horse]] by 10%, for [[breeding]] and leading horses, and for speeding up the growth of baby horses by 4 minutes.

===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden apples. They run toward any golden apples on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat golden apples (or any [[food]]).

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
Prior to [[Java Edition Beta 1.8]], the golden apple outwardly restored the player's full {{hp|20}} health points; Internally however, it is set to restore over double that, at {{hp|42}} health points. This is most likely a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy], making it restore (the meaning of) life, 42 (health points). This is far before either the [[Absorption]] or [[Health Boost]] effects, causing this reference go unnoticed.
