Wood, previously known as Log, represents a material forming the trunk of trees. They have a skin resembling bark on the four side faces, and a crosscut face on top and bottom. There are several varieties of Wood such as oak, pine and birch.

Wood can be chopped by hand, but using an Axe is faster.

Wood is abundant and renewable since they form natural trees that can also be grown from Saplings. It is an important resource as it can be crafted into 4 Wooden Planks and can be smelt into Charcoal.

Properties
Different varieties of Wood cannot be stacked together. Wooden Planks produced from different varieties of Wood are indiscernible and therefore can be stacked.

The variety does not affect any of the properties.

As with most wooden blocks, Wood is easily ignited when near a Fire.

Generation
Wood is naturally present in the world as part of trees. It can be artificially generated using Saplings.

Wood is also present in NPC Villages as part of the various village structures.

Strategy

 * Wood can be considered a compressed version of Wooden Planks. Therefore, carrying a large stack of a single variety of Wood allows to carry four times the volume of Wooden Planks, plus allowing the ability to smelt a highly efficient fuel.

Update history
