Crafting ingredient

Fuel

Repairing
Wooden swords, 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

 * The majority of items crafted from wood planks and derived items usually have the oak wood planks texture. The only exception to this rule is item frames, which use birch.
