Charcoal Burner is a fully configurable mod that allows you to turn logs into charcoal with a default ratio of 1 to 3. Instead of using the boring vanilla method you instead build a multi-block structure that adds life to your world. Furthermore, this mod is designed to be completely vanilla-friendly.

You can change the time required for the transformation, the blocks that are acceptable as a wall, the blocks that are acceptable as a floor, the exchange ratio between logs and charcoal, the items that can be used to trigger the transformation process and you can specify which items are processable using the tag "minecraft:logs"

Config file is named carbonaia-common.toml

To find out how to create the structure, follow the photos below or those in the gallery.
