Farm Cooked Food Automatically with Coal Weapons

Using Coal Weapons on Animals

The coal sword and coal axe both ignite targets on hit and cause all dropped meat to cook automatically. This means you can hunt animals and collect fully cooked food without needing a furnace.

Sword vs. Axe

Both weapons set mobs on fire and cook their meat drops. The coal sword is your primary melee weapon, while the coal axe serves double duty—it also converts logs into charcoal when you chop trees. Choose based on your immediate needs.

Efficient Hunting

Attack animals with your coal weapon to ignite them. When they die, all meat drops arrive pre-cooked and ready to eat. This is especially useful early game when you need food quickly during mining trips. Combine this with the coal hoe's ability to harvest crops in cooked form for a complete automated food system. No furnace required.
