How to make coal in minecraft with wood

It’s crucial to have night vision in order to make it through your first night in Minecraft. To prevent mob spawns, you must have torches, and depending on the biome you start in, finding coal can occasionally be challenging. Fortunately, chances are that you will have trees nearby wherever you spawn. This means you can light your surroundings with charcoal.

If you can find saplings, charcoal is a renewable resource, so you never have to worry about running out in the later stages of the game. This implies that charcoal is virtually infinite, just like saplings!
