Nethercoal

Nethercoal combines the properties of Netherrack with the utility of Coal as a fuel and to make infinitely burning Torches. Unlike the torches made out of Coal, the ones made with Nethercoal will provide permanent light, and will not go out in the rain (they still do if you jump in water though).

Making Nethercoal requires a Diamond Pickaxe to mine Obsidian and go to the Nether, and at least one block of Soul Sand, to use as a filter in the Hopper and make the Hellfire Dust.

Keep in Mind

• Make sure that the fire under a Cauldron is NOT stoked when making Nethercoal, as Hellfire Dust will explode if exposed to too high temperatures.
• The production of Nethercoal is irreversible, so you can not grind it into its components.
