Description

IC2 Coke is a refined, high-energy coal fuel from Industrial Craft 2. Coke is produced by compressing and smelting coal through IC2's multi-step refinement process, yielding a denser fuel item with the registry id ic2:coke. In Minecraft Java Edition with IC2 installed (1.7.10 and 1.12.2 are the canonical versions), Coke burns roughly four times longer than regular Coal and significantly longer than Charcoal, making Coke the most efficient solid fuel that IC2 ships. The IC2 Generator accepts Coke as solid fuel when no electric or renewable source is available, and the same Coke item works in any vanilla furnace as a drop-in fuel. Note that IC2's Coke is distinct from Railcraft's Coal Coke, which is produced in a Coke Oven multiblock; this page describes the IC2 item only. Coke does not exist in vanilla Minecraft or Bedrock Edition, so this fuel is only available when the IC2 mod is present on a Java Edition client and server.

Guide

How to make and use Coke in Minecraft (IC2)

  1. 1

    Gather Coal

    Mine Coal ore with a Stone Pickaxe or better in Minecraft Java Edition with IC2 installed. You need a stack of Coal to make Coke worthwhile, since each Coke requires multiple Coal items through IC2's refinement steps.

  2. 2

    Refine Coal in the IC2 chain

    Use IC2's compression and smelting recipes to convert Coal into the Coke item (registry id ic2:coke). Do not confuse this with Railcraft's Coke Oven multiblock — IC2 Coke is produced through furnace-based refinement, not a Coke Oven.

  3. 3

    Fuel the IC2 Generator

    Place Coke into the IC2 Generator's fuel slot. The Generator will produce EU energy from Coke for far longer per item than it would from Coal or Charcoal.

  4. 4

    Use Coke in a vanilla furnace

    Coke also works in any normal Minecraft furnace. One Coke smelts roughly four times as many items as one Coal, making it the best bulk-smelting fuel in an IC2 modpack.

  5. 5

    Stock Coke for long sessions

    Store Coke in a chest near your furnaces and Generator. Because Coke burns so long, a small stockpile keeps your base smelting and powered for an entire play session.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make IC2 Coke?

IC2 Coke is produced by refining Coal through IC2's compression and smelting recipes, not in a Coke Oven. The end product is the ic2:coke item.

Is IC2 Coke the same as Railcraft Coal Coke?

No. Railcraft's Coal Coke is crafted in a Coke Oven multiblock. IC2's Coke is a separate item with id ic2:coke, made through IC2's own refinement chain.

How long does Coke burn compared to Coal and Charcoal?

Coke is the most efficient solid fuel in IC2, burning roughly four times longer than regular Coal and noticeably longer than Charcoal.

Can Coke fuel a vanilla furnace?

Yes. Coke works in any standard Minecraft furnace as a drop-in replacement for Coal and gives you far more smelts per item.

Is Coke available in Bedrock Edition?

No. Coke is a Java Edition modded item from IC2 only; Bedrock Edition does not support IC2 and does not have this fuel.

Can Coke be used as torch fuel?

No. Coke is a furnace and IC2 Generator fuel only — vanilla torches still require Coal or Charcoal in the recipe.
