Frequently asked questions

Why did my coal block explode when I was just mining it?
Coal blocks in this mod have a chance to explode when mined, especially if you're using certain tools. The explosion happens regardless of which pickaxe you use currently, though the mod author plans to make wooden and diamond pickaxes safer in future versions.
How do I mine coal without it exploding?
You can reduce the risk by adjusting the mod's config file to lower the explosion strength or range, or by removing dangerous tools from the Sparks list so they won't trigger explosions. You can also disable coal explosions entirely by setting the strength to 0.
What tools make coal explode?
By default, iron and gold pickaxes are listed in the Sparks config setting and will trigger explosions when used on coal. You can edit the config file to add or remove tools from this list.
Can I use a torch near coal without it exploding?
No—placing a torch, lava, or magma block near coal will cause it to explode. If you need light while mining coal, keep these heat sources at a distance or disable the mod's fire-triggering feature by setting causeFire to false in the config.
