How to find charcoal in Minecraft? - 1

If you mean charcoal instead of coal then the easiest way to get it is to smelt wood. Not planks, but the wood you get when you actually cut a tree down.

Coal itself is located underground, frequently in sizable veins, and can by successfully harvested by any level of pickaxe.

I found two websites I hope it helps.

Unlike coal, you can't just find charcoal in chests or when mining. To get charcoal, you have to smelt wood logs in a furnace.
