Log

''This page is about the block type. For the structure, see tree (structure)'' Log is a type of block first seen in Minecraft Creative mode 0.0.14a. They have a skin resembling bark on the 4 side faces, and a crosscut face on top and bottom. Log is greatly abundant in naturally generated map, as it is used as the foundation of trees and currently the branches of trees in Alpha mode. Wood can be mined relatively quickly by hand, but using an Axe is faster. Logs are flammable, but sometimes don't burn away when lit.

Log blocks are available for use in Creative mode. They are often used to make plants, trees and for wooden cabins.

In Survival mode, log blocks dropped 3 - 5 Plank blocks when mined. In Indev, Infdev, and Alpha, mining a log block will cause a log block to drop instead. This allows the use of logs as a building material. Log's only crafting use is to be made into 4 Plank blocks.
