Tiny Coal Tiny Charcoal FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft 
tiny coal?
Tiny coal is crafted by placing regular coal in a crafting grid according to the mod's recipe. Check your crafting table or JEI/NEI for the exact pattern, as it typically yields multiple tiny pieces from one coal.What's the difference between tiny coal and 
tiny charcoal?
Both burn for the same duration and smelt one item each, but tiny charcoal is made from charcoal blocks instead of coal. Use whichever fuel source you have more readily available.
tiny charcoal is made from charcoal blocks instead of coal. Use whichever fuel source you have more readily available.How do I make a charcoal block?
Combine nine pieces of charcoal in a crafting grid to create one charcoal block. This block is more efficient than using the nine charcoal pieces individually in a furnace.
Why should I use charcoal blocks instead of individual charcoal?
A charcoal block smelts approximately 10% more items than nine individual pieces of charcoal, making it a more efficient fuel source overall.
Can I use tiny coal and tiny charcoal in other machines?
Tiny coal and charcoal work in any furnace or fuel-consuming block that accepts regular coal or charcoal, though some modded machines may have different fuel requirements.Is there a way to automate tiny coal or charcoal production?
You can use hoppers and crafting automation to feed coal or charcoal into crafting tables, but the mod itself doesn't add dedicated automation blocks—you'll need to use vanilla or other mod mechanics.
What if I accidentally smelt multiple items with one tiny coal?
Tiny coal is designed to burn out after smelting one item, so this shouldn't happen; if it does, check that you're using actual tiny variants and not regular coal.Does this mod work with blast furnaces or smokers?
Tiny coal and charcoal work in blast furnaces and smokers just like they do in regular furnaces, each piece burning for one item.How much fuel do I save by using tiny coal instead of regular coal?
Regular coal wastes fuel when smelting small quantities because it burns completely regardless of need; tiny coal eliminates this waste by providing exactly one smelt per piece.

No, the mod doesn't include a recipe to reverse the crafting process, so plan your fuel production accordingly.
