livinginfictions Posted June 24, 2025 Report Posted June 24, 2025 I'm trying to store my charcoal in a tall stack like i do my peat and my firewood, but it keeps collapsing to the sides a good 3/4 of the time? And I thought I was doing something wrong with where i aimed for placing it, but just picking the layers up that fell and trying again and again it finally placed a piece in the exact spot i'd been trying for ages, so...I don't think I was doing anything wrong? Why won't it stack properly? I know there's a bit of gravity mechanics, but it seems weird that the peat and firewood stack just fine?
Solution Thorfinn Posted June 24, 2025 Solution Report Posted June 24, 2025 Welcome to the forums, @livinginfictions That's just how coal stacks. There have been rumors that other stuff will start doing the same.

I really hope they don't add that to more things. https://media.invisioncic.com/r268468/emoticons/sad.png
Never Jhonsen Posted June 24, 2025 Report Posted June 24, 2025 (edited) They added that in 1.14, and I remember getting really excited for it Ever since then I've always made a pit for my charcoal (not to be confused with a Charcoal Pit), here's what I have in my latest settlement It's 5 blocks by 4 blocks, and it goes three blocks deep (the glass is to show the 3 hidden layers). The reason it slides down in the way it does, is to simulate the unevenness of Charcoal. All the other coals do the same. Think of a steam engine, and how a fireman has to shovel coal from a tender.
