Description:
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.
Aside from coal having the ability to craft blocks, coal and charcoal are functionally identical. They otherwise differ only in their data IDs, images, and in that they can't be stacked together. Coal and charcoal can each smelt with equal efficiency, and craft the same number of torches and fire charges.
