Technically obsidian should come off the list, since it needs a diamond pick to mine and you'd eventually run out of those. Of course, by the time you mined all the diamonds, used up all the picks, and then on top of that converted every block of lava in the regular world and the nether, you will have spent half your life just on obsidian.

Let's just move it into the extremely plentiful column.

Wow, I completely forgot about this thread lol

I put Obsidian on there because there are a few ways to make it. You can make it by activating and breaking Nether Portals in certain ways, and with an Obsidian generator.

Very nice! Thanks for this!

yeah but both those ways still require a finite resource.

It's the first time I see the this thread. It is useful, though I suspect a list of things that are not infinitely renewable would be much shorter (minerals, gravel, dirt, sand & glass, sandstone, lava, glowstone for now, netherrack, soul sand, . . . uh . . . what else?). Also, things made from more basic renewable resources are necessarily renewable, so they don't really need to be listed (e.g., stone tools, chests, workbenches).
