[[Coal]] is a resource found in underground seams. It spawns abundantly in [[Wetlands]]. Can also be found in [[Grasslands]] that are wide enough (not the beach grasslands found around some Biomes) but not as abundantly. It can be [[Mining|mined]] with any [[pickaxe]].

It is one of the softest ores, always broken in one hit from a pickaxe - conveniently so, as it is a very useful resource throughout the game.

If a Coal deposit can be found early game, it is useful as fuel in crafting stations such as the [[Campfire]], [[Bloomery]] and [[Kiln]]. Once the [[Blast Furnace]] is built, Coal is outclassed by the availability of [[Charcoal]].

Coal, being made from [[wikipedia:Coal#Formation|the remains of dead life]],  is likelier to be found in livelier areas. Interestingly enough, Rainforests don't seem to have much Coal.


=== Wetlands ===
=== Wetlands ===
Coal spawns abundantly almost directly below the surface of Wetlands, combined with the usual height of Wetlands you can usually just drive right into the biome and get all the coal you ever need.

This abundance implies much death in the biome, and a previously lush environment.
=== Grasslands ===
=== Grasslands ===
Coal can only be found in the [[Grassland|Grasslands]] [[biome]] within Sandstone. According to game files, Coal has a 70% chance to spawn in bands 13-16 blocks below the surface. Coal bands spawn in a very limited depth range compared to metal ores. Bands (seams) of Coal may extend horizontally to reach other biomes and vertically to reach lower or greater depths.

=== Rainforest ===
<!-- IN-GAME DESCRIPTION: Do not add a header or quotation marks. -->
Coal can be found within [[Rainforest|Rainforests]], between 20 and 40 blocks. It is relatively difficult to mine in these depths, and this location is thus usually disregarded for mining Coal.

The surprisingly deep location may indicate a long past mass extinction event* in such areas.
