DatapacksJava
No More Charcoal
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
No More Charcoal!
This Datapack makes it so you gain normal Coal when smelting Logs instead of Charcoal.
This will result in less Inventory clutter. Coal has many advantages to Charcoal:
- Coal will stack with other Coal in your Chests and in your Inventory
- You can craft Coal blocks to use even less storage
- Coal can be traded with Villagers while Charcoal cannot
