About this Mod
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
