Coal is the main fuel in Minecraft.. Coal mining is usually easy from coal ore, which often comes to the surface of the earth, visible in mines and caves. You need to get it with a pick, otherwise coal does not fall out, and coal ore is destroyed. It is convenient to store coal folded into blocks, especially since you can put a block directly into the furnace (like fuel). Coal is needed to make torches, like fuel for a trolley with a stove. If a lot of coal accumulates, it can be profitably sold to the villagers
Coal as fuel
Coal can also be used as stove fuel. Using just 1 coal you can fry 8 blocks. This is considered a good fuel in the Minecraft game.
Tricks and tips
If you manage to extract a lot of coal, it is better to put it into blocks for compact storage so that you do not have to leave the mine.
If you cannot find charcoal on the first night, you can make charcoal (e.g. for making torches).
If you need to roast a lot of resources in the cooker, it is better to use coal blocks or a bucket of lava instead of charcoal.
