Trivia

 * 1 Block of Coal can smelt 90 items, even though 9 separate Coal items can smelt 81 items, making it a better long-term fuel source.
 * This block can't be crafted from charcoal.
 * It is the second item that smelts the most, the first is Lava buckets which can smelt up to 100 items. However blocks of coal are relatively cheaper and easier to obtain than lava.
 * Blocks of coal are flammable, meaning they will get burned when ignited with Flint and Steel.
