Create: Better Coal
Compress coal to the extreme and press out shining diamonds! Create: Better Coal — a coal progression addon for the Create mod.
✨ About
Why let coal burn away when it can become a diamond?
This mod adds 5 tiers of Compressed Coal Blocks. Starting from the humble Coal Block, use Create's Mechanical Press to compact it tier by tier, all the way up to the Lv.5 Compressed Coal Block. Then, with a Blaze Burner providing heat, the Lv.5 block is forged into a diamond!
🎯 Features
- 5 tiers of compressed coal — a satisfying progression from black coal to brilliant diamond
- Diamond forging — works with both heated and superheated Blaze Burner
- Better fuel — compressed coal works as furnace fuel; higher tiers burn longer (Lv.5 burns for a whopping 512,000 ticks!)
- Color-coded names — tier names shift through gray → yellow → gold → purple → diamond blue
- Fully automatable — integrates with Create belts, deployers, and full production lines

⚙️ FAQ
Q: Can a plain Mechanical Press (unheated) press out diamonds? A: No. The diamond recipe requires heat from a Blaze Burner — either heated or superheated, but the burner is mandatory.
Q: How long do compressed coal blocks burn? A: Starting at 32,000 ticks for Lv.1 and doubling per tier, Lv.5 burns for 512,000 ticks (~25,600 seconds) — over 10× longer than a coal block.
Q: Which versions are supported? A: Currently 1.21.1 (NeoForge). More versions coming soon.
机械动力:更好的煤炭
把煤炭压缩到极致,压出闪闪发光的钻石! Create: Better Coal —— 一款基于机械动力(Create)的煤炭进阶附属模组。
✨ 模组介绍
煤炭烧完就没了?试试把它压成钻石!
本模组为煤炭添加了 5 级压缩煤炭块:从最普通的煤炭块开始,通过机械动力的压榨机(Mechanical Press)逐级压实,一路成长为五级压缩煤炭块。最终,在烈焰人燃烧室(Blaze Burner)的加热下,五级压缩煤炭块即可被压制成钻石!
🎯 功能特色
- 5 级压缩煤炭:等级递进、环环相扣,体验从黑煤到钻石的蜕变过程
- 钻石压制成型:烈焰人燃烧室普通加热或超级燃烧均可压出钻石
- 更强的燃料:压缩煤炭块可在熔炉中作为燃料使用,等级越高燃烧时间越长(五级燃烧时间高达 512,000 tick!)
- 渐变配色名称:方块名称随等级渐变(灰 → 黄 → 金 → 紫 → 钻石蓝),一目了然
- 纯机械自动化:与机械动力完美契合,可接入传送带、机械臂等自动化产线
📦 压缩路线
| 步骤 | 输入 | 输出 | 热量要求 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 煤炭块 ×2 | 压缩煤炭块(一级) | 无需热量 |
| 2 | 压缩煤炭块(一级) ×2 | 压缩煤炭块(二级) | 无需热量 |
| 3 | 压缩煤炭块(二级) ×2 | 压缩煤炭块(三级) | 无需热量 |
| 4 | 压缩煤炭块(三级) ×2 | 压缩煤炭块(四级) | 无需热量 |
| 5 | 压缩煤炭块(四级) ×2 | 压缩煤炭块(五级) | 无需热量 |
| 6 | 压缩煤炭块(五级) ×2 | 钻石 | 需要热量(加热/超级燃烧) |
📋 依赖环境
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.x
- Create 机械动力(必装前置)
⚙️ 常见问题
Q:普通压榨机(未加热)能压出钻石吗? A:不能。钻石配方需要烈焰人燃烧室提供热量,普通加热或超级燃烧状态均可,但必须通过燃烧室。
Q:压缩煤炭块能烧多久? A:一级 32,000 tick 起步,每升一级翻倍,五级高达 512,000 tick(约 25,600 秒),是煤炭块的 10 倍以上。
Q:模组支持哪些版本? A:目前支持 1.21.1(NeoForge),更多版本敬请期待。
