To get infinite coal, get a wood-to-charcoal farm and a charcoal to coal crafting mod. Then get an autocrafting setup and set it to make coal from charcoal. Infinite coal. U mad, Jeb?

You meant infinite charcoal, not coal, and you don't even need to mine any coal to start with.
While they seem the same and are even the same item with a different data value there are some differences; try trading charcoal for emeralds (unless you are in 1.7.10 or earlier); you also can't make blocks of charcoal (though it would have been very easy for Mojang to add).
Also, you can truly get infinite coal with a Wither skeleton farm, although I personally think that it is pointless to farm coal/charcoal except when you first start out and need to make torches since coal ore is so common (in my current world I've mined more than 2,000 per day for over 100 days... even one hour has given me more than I've needed for any use unrelated to caving).
Correction: you don't need to mine a coal to smelt logs for charcoal in the beginning. You can just use logs for fuel and use logs to smelt logs. Dun dun dun!
At first my reaction was "well, this works, it's infinite (char)coal from one", but then I realized the obvious wood consumption. To be fair the title never said it was free, but I need way more wood than coal, as I play primarily by building and coal really only gets used for torches (granted I need a lot), whereas wood is needed probably way more than anything else (I deforested many entire areas in developing the places around my world). I'd say cobblestone gets used a lot too, and it does, but I have way more of that in storage than anything so it's probably wood. So, I can't really afford to waste wood for torches or smelting, and using coal gives me an excuse to mine and go caving too to break it up from being nonstop building (it creates adventure too, as sometimes I literally wander to various parts of my world for a cave even if there's some nearby, which has the added benefit of me going "oh this area is nice" and there you go, new planned development location for later).

Curse PremiumMine 1 coal, then smelt 8 logs. Then use the 8 charcoal to smelt 64 logs, which will obtain 64 charcoal. It goes on and on.

So you mean infinite charcoal, not coal?

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
How to obtain infinite charcoal:
Step 1:
Mine infinite trees for infinite logs.
...
*Says infinite coal*
Smelt stacks of logs
If you call that infinite coal you should also call mining infinite.

Oh no, logs are infinite (renewable) but minerals from mining are only very very much.
Well, coal is renewable too.

Oh you're right - wither skeletons drop coal!
