Better Coals is a progression mod centered around high-efficiency fuel, introducing the rare and powerful Anthracite Ore—found deep underground and occasionally exposed on cliffs—as the basis for advanced fuel crafting.
[EXPLANATION] Anthracite is a new ore generating in random blobs of ~10 blocks, in STONE! (y:30 - 256). it has the feature to be mined with fortune, yielding more drops!
Anthracite can be used as coal (has longer burn time) Though it can also be blasted into coke (which has an even longer burn time) Anthracite can be blended with a diamond surrounded by 4 coal coke to make 4 infused coal blend.
When blasted the infused coal blend turns into infused coal - which is the ultimate fuel in this mod. it might smelt a whole stack with 1 coal piece. >.>
