Last updated
Ever wondered where to find charcoal in Minecraft? Let’s dive into the heart of this blocky world and uncover the secrets of obtaining charcoal.
If you’re searching for charcoal in Minecraft but not sure where to start, you’re in the right place. Charcoal is a handy resource, especially when you’re just beginning your adventure.
Creating Charcoal from Scratch
To get charcoal in Minecraft, you’ll need to burn wood. Yes, it’s that simple! But let’s break it down a bit more. First, you need to gather wood logs from any tree. Then, use a furnace to turn those logs into charcoal. Remember, it’s not wood planks we’re using but the logs themselves.
Here’s the scoop: place the logs into the top slot of the furnace and any burning material (like more wood, planks, or coal) into the bottom slot. As it burns, voilà, you’ll get charcoal! Charcoal can light up your world, cook your food, and even make more torches.
