**Crafting** A charcoal block can be crafted with 9 [Charcoal](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Charcoal).
---
#### **Usage**
Charcoal Blocks can sustain a permanent fire, similar to Netherack or coal ore, when lit with a flint and steel. They can also be placed in furnaces, blast furnaces or smokers to power them. They are equal to 10 coal or charcoal (800 seconds - up to 800 items per block) - the same as [coal blocks](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Block_of_Coal). As charcoal can be easily produced with logs, charcoal blocks represent a relatively cheap and easy alternative to coal for smelting.

#### **Obtaining**
**Crafting** A Fuel Block can be crafted with 8 Dirt and 1 Flint.
---
#### **Usage**
Fuel Blocks can sustain a permanent fire, similar to netherack or coal ore, when lit with a flint and steel. They can also be placed in furnaces, blast furnaces or smokers to power them. They are equal to coal or charcoal (80 seconds - up to 8 items per unit) but 1/10th as long-lasting as coal or charcoal blocks (800 seconds - up to 80 items per block). However, all materials used to craft fuel blocks are nearly infinite and easily found or produced, as well as often being considered a waste or limited use resource, so represent a relatively cheap and easy alternative to coal for smelting.
