Present since 1.0 or earlier Mined with: pickaxe Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

Coal Ore is the most common ore, visible in cliffs and caves from sea level up into the mountains; it drops one Coal and works with any pickaxe. Like every ore, it needs a pickaxe, and the enchantment on that pickaxe changes what it drops. Mining works the same for every ore; the Iron Ore page explains pickaxe tiers, Fortune and Silk Touch.

It is mined with a pickaxe and drops Coal.
