Which fuels burn the longest in Minecraft?
What's the order of "best fuels"?
Example: Coal cooks less than lava and blaze rods, wood cooks less than coal, etc.
What's the order of fuels based on their 'cooking quantity'?
Fuel efficiency found in Smelting
Burn Time Burn Time Fuel needed to
Fuel (ticks) (smeltings*) smelt 64 items
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lava Bucket 20000 100 0.64
Block of Coal 16000 80 0.8
Blaze Rod 2400 12 5.3
Coal and Charcoal 1600 8 8
Huge Mushrooms 300 1.5 43
Wood and wooden things† 300 1.5 43
Daylight Sensors 300 1.5 43
Banners 300 1.5 43
Wood tools and weapons 200 1 64
Wooden Slabs 150 0.75 86
Stick 100 0.5 128
Saplings 100 0.5 128
* Number of items smelted per fuel item
† Anything mostly crafted from wood: Crafting tables, Chests, Jukebox (Except Slabs)
Note that the effective efficiency of the long-burning materials goes down rapidly if you don't restock the furnace.
Sorting the entries in this table based on the last column gives this list:
- Lava Bucket
- Block of Coal
- Blaze Rod
- Charcoal
- Coal
- Fence
- Fence Gate
- Wooden Stairs
- Wooden Pressure Plate
- Wood Planks

- Chest
- Trapped Chest
- Daylight Sensor
- Bookshelf
- Crafting Table
- Trapdoor
- Huge Mushrooms
- Note Block
- Jukebox
- Wooden Tools and Weapons
- Wooden Slabs
- Stick
- Saplings
Found an even better list

@Meraj99 - Because you can use them as fuel for a furnace xD
