Getting Regular Coal Without Mining Underground

Bypassing Underground Mining

Finding coal ores typically requires exploring deep caves or strip mining underground, which can consume a significant amount of time and expose you to hazards. With this data pack installed, you can obtain all the standard coal you need using surface-level resources.

The Surface-to-Coal Workflow

Follow these steps to produce regular coal without leaving your base:

1. Gather wood by chopping down trees in any nearby forest.

2. Burn the wood logs in a furnace, smoker, or bulk smoking/smelting station to produce normal charcoal.

3. Take the charcoal to your Create mod bulk haunting setup.

4. Expose the charcoal to the bulk haunting airflow stream created by your fan blowing through soul fire.

5. The charcoal will turn directly into regular coal.

6. Pick up the converted coal from the processing station.

Repeat this loop whenever you run low on fuel or crafting materials, completely eliminating the need to search underground for coal ore deposits.
