Planks

Wood planks (simply called Planks) is a generic name for a common block used in many crafting recipes. Its texture resembles a neatly stacked pile of wooden planks hewn from one of the six different tree species. In inventory, the block's full name is "species Wood Planks" in the Java and Bedrock Edition, or "species Planks" in the Legacy Console Edition, where species can be Oak, Spruce, Birch, Acacia, Jungle, or Dark Oak.

Obtaining
Wood planks can be broken by hand, but using an axe will speed up the process.

Natural generation
They also generate in various natural structures, as listed below.

Oak wood planks can be found in:
 * Abandoned mineshafts where they are used as beams supported by oak wood fence posts.
 * Plains villages where they are used for various structures including walls, roofs, and floors of many buildings, as well as paths over water.
 * Strongholds where they are used for floors and pillars in the library and storage rooms.
 * Woodland mansions

Birch wood planks can be found in woodland mansions.

Spruce wood planks can be found in: Acacia wood planks can be found in savanna villages.
 * The swamp biome where they are used as the primary building material for witch huts.
 * Taiga villages, in place of oak planks.

Dark oak wood planks can be found in:
 * Abandoned mineshafts generated in mesa biomes.
 * Woodland mansions

Jungle wood planks do not generate naturally.

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. Wood planks also have a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.

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.
