Anthracite Arsenal FAQ

Combine coal and charcoal at a crafting table in the same pattern you would use for standard armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots). You'll need multiple coal and charcoal blocks depending on which piece you're making.

Yes, you must equip all four coal armor pieces (helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots) to gain complete immunity to fire and lava damage. Wearing fewer pieces will not activate the protection.

Hold the coal tool in your hand and press Shift (Crouch) to toggle auto-smelt on or off. When active, the tool will automatically process blocks as you mine them—ores become ingots, sand becomes glass, and logs become charcoal.

No, coal armor cannot be repaired at anvils and is not compatible with the Mending enchantment. You'll need to craft a new piece once your current one reaches zero durability.

The coal sword sets the target on fire and causes all meat drops from that mob to be cooked automatically, so you get ready-to-eat food instead of raw meat.

The coal pickaxe smelts metal ores into refined ingots when mined with auto-smelt enabled. Check your mod's ore list to confirm which ores are affected, but common metals like iron, gold, and copper should be included.

Yes, when you chop logs with the coal axe while auto-smelt is active, they convert directly into charcoal blocks instead of dropping as wood logs.

The coal hoe harvests crops in their finished form (cooked) and converts kelp into dried kelp automatically when auto-smelt is enabled, saving you smelting time.

Yes, wearing a full coal armor set grants fire and lava immunity but causes rapid durability loss while you're exposed to those hazards, so the protection is temporary until the armor breaks.

Coal tools and armor can receive enchantments at an enchanting table, but coal armor specifically cannot use the Mending enchantment since it cannot be repaired through normal means.
