    If you go mining or caving frequently (and don’t stay in the deepslate area the whole time) then you can build up a lot of coal, especially since with fortune III each coal block drops 2.2 coal on average

      For sure but I still find it quicker to just spiral carve up a 2x2 spruce and chuck it all into a dedicated charcoal smelter that uses its own charcoal to smelt everything.

      But if someone strip mines a ton, then yeah, coal as a byproduct is better, I suppose.

      I always like renewables though. Even a slow or wasteful farm is better than doing it myself, when I play, so to each their own.
