Coal is a resource primarily found in badlands and meadows used to create explosion-related structures and units such as kaboomeries and creepers.
Obtaining
Gathering

Only once the gather coal improvement has been built at an improvement hub, coal can be gathered by using a gather allay near a coal vein, which can generate in badlands and meadows. When gathering, the gather allay will fill up the player's coal storage until either the storage capacity is reached or all coal within the gather allay's gathering radius has been obtained.
25 coal is automatically granted to players when they build the gather coal improvement.
Players passively receive 15 coal every minute if they have built the large gather coal improvement at an improvement hub.
In a Custom Game, the amount of coal veins that generate throughout the world can be increased or decreased during world generation. Once the world has been created this setting cannot be changed again.
Chests
Once the gather coal improvement has been built, coal has a chance to be obtained by opening village chests in badlands and meadow villages and allay chests.
Capacity
The amount of coal that can be stored at one time is limited. The maximum diamond capacity is increased every time a gather diamond improvement is built.
