Usage


Wood planks can be used for building structures, as crafting ingredients, and as fuel.

Crafting ingredient
Wood planks are used in many crafting recipes. Doors, fences, fence gates, slabs, stairs and boats must be crafted from wood planks of the same species and will match the species used. For other products, planks of different species can be mixed freely and the wood species in the product is indeterminate.

Fuel
Wood planks can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Repairing
Wooden swords, shields, pickaxes, axes, hoes and shovels can be repaired with wood planks in an anvil.

Data values
Wood planks have the ID name  and are further defined by their block data or block state.

Block data
If a command is used to create planks with data value 6 or higher, these planks will have the name "Oak Wood Planks" but a missing texture. They can't be used to craft stairs, slabs, doors, fences or gates. If placed, they'll become actual oak planks.

Trivia

 * Many items crafted using wood planks or sticks have textures that most resemble oak wood, regardless of the species used to craft them. Item frames, on the other hand, resemble birch wood.
