Yeah, as mdf25 said, this would be extremely easy to implement. Would the peat be something like in Biomes O' Plenty? i.e. Some sort of peat moss found naturally that you need to dry out.
I think it should be minned, and low level coal could be crafted (?, we already have charcoal). The rarity of all should be the same, as coal is a cheap thing (specially if you have a charcoal farm running)
update: just about done! just need to get torch textures (and a few freshly made lighting bugs) and ore textures settled! should be done tomorrow
Sweet! Sorry if I didn't clarify, but the torches should all just be the default torch. It merely would be crafting recipe to get more torches with higher qualities of coal.
Peat generates anywhere above water with a spawn chance of 2.2 that of vanilla coal. Cannot spawn deeper than water level. Same size veins.
Brown coal generates with a chance of 1.5 better than vanilla coal. Will spawn from level Y=40. Slightly smaller than vanilla coal veins.
Pure coal will generate anywhere below layer Y=40. 1.2 better chance than vanilla coal. Spawns in veins about 1/2 to 2/3 the size though.
I'll get those textures posted as soon as possible though!
EDIT: Some texture previews added to this post. All of the proper, original and low resolution ones are on imgur here: http://imgur.com/a/wjsJm
(Just save them as they are. They should be low resolution because 16x16 pixels.
Got any ideas for how you get the coal forms? Is it to be mined or is formed as part of a crafting recipe?
If it's to be mined, what levels are they found at and how rare?
This mod would be quite a quick one to implement, since all you need to do is add items, crafting, and assign the coals as a fuel, and finish it off with some ore generation if required.

Yeah the idea came from me trying to think of a potential yet minuscule mod for me or someone to make. Since I used to use Modloader and can't wrap my head around forge, I came to beg.
Lol sorry Pitothepowerof3! It seems that ERBF has jumped right into it already!
Thanks man!

alright. simple enough. should be done fairly soon
Even though i replaced the large brown coal ore texture with the 16x one, it renders real weird.
The new coal blocks cannot be crafted, crashing when i make the recipe up in the table.
The ores cannot be mined with wooden pickaxes.
The coal blocks cannot be crafted back.
Every new piece of coal smelts somewhat infinitely?
There are weird torch textures left in the assets folder.
Unfortunately if the bulk of these are not fixed, I will request aid from PitoThePowerOf3. Thankyou
In minecraft you simply have coal. Plain old coal. No different major fuel source at all...
But what about the different qualities of coal?!
Your basic coal in anready in Minecraft would stay as black coal, but added would be peat, brown coal, and anthracite(pure coal).
Peat: 2 smelts or 1 torch.
Brown coal: 4 smelts or 2 torches
Black coal: Basic Minecraft coal...
Pure coal: 16 smelts or 8 torches.
A simple mod: 3 items, 6 blocks, 3 fuels, 3 crafting recipes, and a whole lot more diversity in your coal!
Whatcha think?!
UPDATE: Theory Pics Added!

Lol no the 16x textures plus the peat block was on the imgur link I gave you!
Thanks for the mod though. Would you mind if i posted it, crediting you generously of course,
