Troubleshooting Charcoal Bulk Haunting

Checking the Haunting Stream

If your charcoal is sitting in the airflow without transforming into regular coal, inspect your Create mod setup:

• Airflow Direction: Verify that the Encased Fan is blowing air forward through your soul fire source rather than pulling air in reverse.
• Fire Source: Ensure the block generating the haunting effect is an authentic soul fire source (such as soul fire, soul sand fire, or a soul campfire). Standard fire will trigger bulk smoking or smelting instead of haunting.
• Distance: Check that the charcoal is close enough to the fan. Airflow only travels a limited number of blocks; if the items sit too far away, haunting will not occur.

Checking the Input Items

• Item Type: Ensure the items placed in the stream are indeed standard vanilla charcoal. Other fuel types or wooden items cannot be haunted into coal with this data pack.
• Item State: Items must sit stationary inside the active stream long enough for the recipe timer to complete. If a belt moves the charcoal through the stream too quickly, slow down the belt or use a brass funnel to hold items until processing finishes.
