Stick

Sticks are created by placing two wood planks in a crafting square, one above the other. 32 wood planks or 8 wood blocks will create a full stack of sticks.

Obtaining
A witch may drop up to 6 sticks upon death.

Usage
Sticks are used primarily as the handles for tools, torches, and weapons. They can also be used as the shaft of arrows, the post for signs or the ties of rails. Sticks are the only building material required to craft a fence or ladder.

Sticks can also be used as a fuel source for furnaces. Though they are renewable, sticks are a less efficient fuel than wood planks, and require 2 sticks to be burned per furnace operation. Sticks are recommended for short jobs, like cooking pork, or if just a little more fuel is required to complete the current operation, and it would not complete otherwise. Note that it takes 3 sticks to do the same job as 1 wood plank. It is not recommended to use sticks if they have just been crafted, since the two planks used to craft the sticks can burn for 30 seconds (three smelting operations), while the four sticks produced by crafting those two planks will burn for just 20 seconds (two smelting operations).

When making ladders you can (with a stack of 64) place 9 in each slot in the required pattern and have 1 left over. Also when making fences with a full stack there will be 11 in 4 slots and 10 in 2 others.

As a fuel
When used as a furnace fuel, a stick will last for half an operation.

Trivia

 * Along with the Bone, the Stick is wielded as a tool instead of an item.
