blaze rods - you can sell coal to villagers

I never knew you can use Blaze rods. I'm going to use that for now on.

I use jukeboxes.
Only 1 Diamond!
15 seconds of furnace burn!
Jk.
Coal. Of course. Btw, Its so funny that you can actully waste one diamond if you smelt a jukebox.
LOL.

Offtopic question, does the lava bucket lose its capacity when idle? Like when coal burns out even if there's not something to smelt?

I don't see why it wouldn't. Everything else does.

juke boxes, im so rich i dont need them!

Coal, I shall never run out of coal.

I use saplings.

Burning trees isn't really green now is it?

I meant green as in renewable.

First day I might toss in my wooden pick if I have yet to find coal.

But once I get some coal I always have my 3 furnaces have a stack of coal in each. A waste of coal probably. But after awhile I am swimming in the stuff.

I suppose I could use lava buckets and such but... just seems easier to use coal.

I always use charcoal. If I find coal I mine them and use them to make even more charcoal. I always go green.

you "go green" by burning wood with coal that emits black dust every were... you arnt really going green by my standards... but if you like it its not my problem

I use coal, but blaze rods are an excellent source of fuel.

Coal and lava. Lava is just so efficient...

I use coal until I run out, then charcoal until I get some more (while out mining for other things).

I usually use coal/charcoal, but if I'm smelting less than 4, I use planks.

1-10 things: Wooden planks
11-40 things: Coal
41-64: Lava

Charcoal FTW 'cause its renewable

Since I always chop down trees and never replant, I use saplings.

I usually use coal, because when you mine it, you get experience, which provides a slightly larger incentive to mine it, and it has a very low cost. I might use blaze rods if I ever got around to making a blaze farm.

Also, whenever I have extra wooden materials (for example, a couple fences that I picked up in mine shafts or unused wooden slabs), I use those to keep my chests fairly clean.

I use coal because I usually mine tons of it and you only need so many torches.
