Charcoal is an alternative to Coal that can be obtained from smelting logs in a Furnace. It shares the same uses as normal coal. However, charcoal cannot be crafted into a coal block, and neither can charcoal and coal be stacked together.

As well as sharing a similar appearance, charcoal acts exactly like coal, and likewise can also be used to make torches and power minecarts with furnaces. Charcoal and coal cannot stack with each other and can't be changed with a texture pack. Charcoal is a potent resource to use in an area where coal is scanty.
