I didn't see this in the already posted section, so here goes.
Everyone always finds coal. It is the most common mineral in Minecraft. It is good to have a small amount starting out, but then we just find more and more. We build furnaces just to hold the stuff. It is true that you can't have too much coal, but we need a better way to store it.
Enter the Block of Coal. Made by arranging 8 Coal in a 3x3 crafting grid. (Why not 9? One coal block can be used to smelt a whole stack.) This block will be the only mineral block that is flammable and will burn away, and will in fact catch fire very easily. It will have a low blast resistance, being made entirely out of coal. These blocks will be used also to smelt 64 items in a furnace. (being made of 8 coal, which smelts 8 objects each)
As for Blocks of Charcoal, I don't know. There should actually be a separate item texture for charcoal, IMO. (I always confuse the two when I have both in my inventory and I don't highlight them.).
I mine a lot, and I have more coal than I know what to do with. I am also slightly OCD, which means I won't leave the cave until either my inventory's full or I've mined ALL the minerals out of the walls.
I support this idea (but I think they should make coal and charcoal the same item ...)
The reason they're different is because they each have different chemical compositions, even if they look the same, there is no logical reasoning as to why they would be the same item.
Also, charcoal is good if you can't find coal on your first night and really need torches.

I sign this with my approval.
I didn't mean, take away charcoal, just list it as coal so we can stack'em together, because unlike different wood blocks or wool blocks, they don't have much of a difference
But I understand what you mean
Great idea. That means you could have a furnace doing 4096 smelts without refueling with a full stack. Great for long trips if you want to ensure you can come back and quickly cook/smelt your food/ores without needing to refuel, saving time.
I'd have it take a fairly long time to burn, so you could have fire places with this. Also, maybe surrounding an ore with coal blocks would break it AND smelt it. it would be fairly useless compared to a normal furnace, but it may be used in future for something like turning [example, not suggestion] iron ore into steel. while the regular furnace turns iron ore into iron.
Your idea is not really that creative. Long smelting times? Bucket of lava. Especially since the snapshot making it so you don't use a bucket. Flammable block? Netherrack. Pixel art? Black is covered by wool and obsidian. Storage? I doubt anyone gets a bunch of coal and does nothing with it. If you have too much, use it! It's not that hard. Oversuggested and uncreative.

I think this guy is right, just us your freaking coal.I disagree with this idea.
I don't really see the use for a coal block but I suppose that there would be no harm in adding it. If people really wanted an ugly block to decorate their house with then feel free.
Nice idea. I'v seen it before, but the coal block being made of 8 coal is a really good idea. What would it's texture be though?
(Hopefully not just black. It would look too much like black wool!)

yes but you can only fit in one stack of something for the furnace

Either way, seems like a good idea.
High roller post #777, yup
Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.
I vote yes, because I want a way of storing a large amount of coal in a compact way.
