Coke — Minecraft block
Coke
IC2 Coke is a refined coal fuel made in the Coke Kiln: it burns twice as long as Coal and yields 8,000 EU in the IC2 Generator.
Description
In Minecraft Java Edition with IC2 installed, Coke burns twice as long as regular Coal: one piece yields 8,000 EU in the IC2 Generator at 10 EU/t (versus 4,000 EU for Coal), or 16,000 hU in a Solid Fuel Firebox. The same fuel works in any vanilla furnace as a drop-in Coal replacement, and the Creosote Oil byproduct adds another 1,500 EU per 500 mB in a Semifluid Generator. Coke does not exist in vanilla Minecraft or Bedrock Edition — it is only available when IC2 is installed on a Java Edition client and server.
Guide
How to make and use Coke in Minecraft (IC2)
-
1
Build the Coke Kiln
Craft 26 Refractory Bricks from Brick, Clay and water, then combine them with an Iron Plate, Iron Bars and an Iron Trapdoor to get the Coke Kiln, Coke Kiln Grate and Coke Kiln Hatch. Assemble the 3×3×3 structure with 23 Refractory Bricks.

2
Load Coal into the top hatch
Drop plain Coal into the Coke Kiln Hatch at the top. Only plain Coal works — Charcoal and Coal Blocks are rejected. After about two minutes each Coal becomes 1 Coke, collected from the side, plus 500 mB of Creosote Oil drained from the bottom grate.

3
Fuel the IC2 Generator
Place Coke into the Generator's fuel slot. Each piece produces 8,000 EU at 10 EU/t — twice the 4,000 EU you get from a piece of Coal.
-
4
Use Coke in a vanilla furnace
Coke also works in any normal Minecraft furnace as a direct Coal replacement, smelting roughly twice as many items per piece.

5
Burn the byproducts
Drain the Creosote Oil from the bottom grate and burn it in a Semifluid Generator for 1,500 EU per 500 mB. In a Solid Fuel Firebox one Coke gives 16,000 hU instead.
Neither output of the Coke Kiln is automatic: feed Coal with a Hopper or Item Buffer through the top hatch, and use a Pump Attachment or a Fluid Pulling Upgrade to drain Creosote Oil from the bottom grate.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make IC2 Coke?
Coke is not crafted or smelted — it is distilled in the Coke Kiln multiblock: 1 Coal becomes 1 Coke plus 500 mB of Creosote Oil in about two minutes.
How long does Coke burn compared to Coal?
Twice as long. One Coke yields 8,000 EU in the Generator versus 4,000 EU for Coal, and 16,000 hU in a Solid Fuel Firebox.
Can Coke fuel a vanilla furnace?
Yes. Coke works in any standard furnace as a drop-in Coal replacement and smelts about twice as many items per piece.
Is Coke available in Bedrock Edition?
No. Coke is a Java Edition modded item from IC2; Bedrock Edition does not support IC2 and does not have this fuel.
What is the Creosote Oil byproduct for?
Every 500 mB of Creosote Oil produces 1,500 EU in a Semifluid Generator; it does not work in Liquid Fueled Fireboxes.
Does Charcoal work in the Coke Kiln?
No. The Coke Kiln accepts only plain Coal — neither Charcoal nor Coal Blocks can be distilled into Coke.
