When people use Coal for fuel?
Xeno's Reliquary allows you to make dragon eggs with 72 diamonds.
If our definition of renewable is 'can be acquired infinitely', then the only thing that isn't renewable would probably be single-acquirable items like the dragon egg, as mentioned above. That's just the nature of Minecraft.
But, that's not how I define it. I consider a renewable resource to be something that I can fabricate infinitely within the confines of my base, such as biofuel, wood, cobble, etc. If we include soul shards, that list expands quite a ways, and I believe actually includes diamonds, if you use coal from wither skeletons to make industrial diamonds.
I used to make coke ovens, but...the time it takes to process a stack of coal is just a little crazy.
I find that last sentence far more amusing than I probably should, lol.It is crazy. But if I feel Im going to need a lot of coke I just build a few of them. Set up a liquid void pipe system to them to keep them from stopping and just run them while I do other stuff.
I should take a stab at automating them at somet point. But I currently dont have a huge need for coke.
My OCD prevents me from burning coal as long as I have charcoal to burn. Somehow feels 'wrong' to burn something that I only need 64 of to turn into a precious diamond!
That I have over 32 stacks of diamonds and wel over 30k of coal doesn't matter.![]()
You probably know that, but I'll write it anyway, just in case - theres a way to a blast furnace that does not need a nether stronghold for it, using a TE induction furnace to create the needed bricks.I'm lazy to search the Nether for Stronghold. I use Industrial Blast Furnace for making steel. 2 coal = 1 steel.
