How to make Minecraft charcoal
Charcoal is one of many things that you can craft in Minecraft. It’s mainly used as a fuel source to help smelt/cook items you may have. In addition to creating new items with it, they can also be used to make torches to help light up areas and keep hostile mobs away.
Find some trees
