Planks

Wood planks is a block that can be crafted from wood. There are six types of wood planks, based on the wood types from which they are crafted. Wood planks of different colors do not stack.

Obtaining
Wood planks can be crafted, are dropped by destroyed boats, and can be found in generated structures.

Drops
A crashed boat will drop 3 oak wood planks (no matter the original wood planks used to craft the boat), as well as 2 sticks.

Natural generation
Oak wood planks can be found in:
 * abandoned mine shafts where they are used as beams supported by oak wood fence posts.
 * villages where they are used for various structures including walls, roofs, and floors of many buildings
 * strongholds where they are used for floors and pillars in the Library and Storage rooms.

Spruce wood planks can be found in Swamp biomes where they are used as the primary building material for witch huts.

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, and stairs must be crafted from wood planks of the same type and will match the wood type used. For other products, wood planks of different types can be mixed freely, with no effect on the result.

Fuel
Wood planks can be used as fuel in a furnace. Each wood planks block will provide 15 seconds of smelting, enough time to provide 1.5 smelting operations.

Colored wood planks
Dinnerbone briefly thought about implementing colored wood planks, releasing a test image on his Twitter page. This however never got implemented, as can be seen from the following quotes. The idea was eventually replaced with stained clay.
