How to make and use Coke in Minecraft (IC2)
-
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
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
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
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
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.
