Description

Requires the library mod Collective.
Natural Charcoal makes wildfires useful! Whenever a log is destroyed via fire, it has a chance to drop charcoal. Charcoal is immune to fire, so it doesn't get destroyed by other fires nearby. By default it's a 2/3 chance for one to generate, though this can be changed in the config.
It is also possible to put logs next to a campfire to turn them into charcoal. This is slightly faster than using a furnace: Four pieces in 30 seconds instead of 40 when smelted.
Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
charcoalIsImmuneToFire (default = true): Whether the charcoal item should survive when being dropped inside fire.
burnedLogBecomesCharcoalChance (default = 0.67, min 0, max 1.0): The chance a log block that has been burned turns into charcoal.
charcoalDropAmount (default = 1, min 1, max 64): How much charcoal should be dropped from a burned log.
A fire passed through the area! Useful, as it generates charcoal :)

It is also possible to create charcoal via the campfire:
