This article is about the bark block. For the block found in trees formerly named "wood", see Log. For other uses, see Wood (disambiguation).

Wood or hyphae is a block that has the log's "bark" texture on all six sides. It comes in ten types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, crimson, and warped.

Stripped wood or stripped hyphae is a variant obtained when any axe is used on wood or hyphae respectively.

Wood also have many uses, ranged from building to crafting some other construction materials and items.

The most recent variant of wood is cherry wood, introduced in version 1.20.

Obtaining

Breaking

Wood and hyphae can be broken by hand, but using an axe is the fastest.

Block	Wood Stripped Wood Hyphae Stripped Hyphae
Hardness	2

Breaking time
Default	3
Wooden	1.5
Stone	0.75

Natural generation

Oak wood and stripped oak wood generate in plains villages.

Acacia wood generates in savanna villages.

Spruce wood and stripped spruce wood generate in snowy plains, snowy taiga, and taiga villages.

Crafting

Wood or hyphae can be crafted out of four matching logs or stems, yielding three wood or hyphae as a result. Same goes for stripped wood.

Post-generation

Stripped wood and hyphae

Using an axe on wood or hyphae turns it into stripped wood or hyphae, which act the same as regular wood or hyphae.

Usage

Wood and hyphae can be placed in three orientations, similarly to normal logs.

Fuel

Wood and stripped wood can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Hyphae and stripped hyphae cannot be used as a fuel in furnaces.

Cocoa beans

Cocoa beans can be placed on the side of both jungle logs and stripped jungle logs to grow new cocoa pods.

Note blocks

Wood and hyphae can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

History

Java Edition
1.3.1		12w30d			Added six-sided wood blocks, which look similar to logs, but they have the wood's "bark" texture (side texture when placed vertically) on all 6 sides.
					Wood exists as a metadata variant of the usual log block, likely implemented unintentionally as these values were never initially intended to be used.
					The item form of logs with damage values corresponding to that of wood blocks appear to be wood blocks, but when placed act as normal logs. More information on this item can be found at Invalid Data Value Log.
					Wood drops normal logs when broken normally, however Silk Touch results in the wood "item" version being dropped instead.
		1.3			Wood now drops logs even when broken with Silk Touch.
1.7.2		13w43a			Added two new types of wood: acacia and dark oak.
		1.7			The texture of acacia wood has been drastically changed, and dark oak has a unique texture.
1.8		14w10a			Wood block models are now missing.
					minecraft:log2 blocks with numerical metadata variants 2-3, 6-7, 10-11 and 14-15, which are inaccessible through normal gameplay, now have no model rather than appearing identical to either acacia or dark oak logs.
		14w10b			Wood blocks now have models again.
		14w25a			Logs are now defined via block states rather than by numerical metadata. Prior to this version, the numerical metadata variants of minecraft:log were as follows: DV Description 0 Oak Log (up-down) 1 Spruce Log (up-down) 2 Birch Log (up-down) 3 Jungle Log (up-down) 4 Oak Log (east-west) 5 Spruce Log (east-west) 6 Birch Log (east-west) 7 Jungle Log (east-west) 8 Oak Log (north-south) 9 Spruce Log (north-south) 10 Birch Log (north-south) 11 Jungle Log (north-south) 12 Oak Wood (up-down) 13 Spruce Wood (up-down) 14 Birch Wood (up-down) 15 Jungle Wood (up-down) The data values for minecraft:log2 were as follows: DV Description 0 Acacia Log (up-down) 1 Dark Oak Log (up-down) 2-3 Inaccessible "boring" log blocks 4 Acacia Log (east-west) 5 Dark Oak Log (east-west) 6-7 Inaccessible "boring" log blocks 8 Acacia Log (north-south) 9 Dark Oak Log (north-south) 10-11 Inaccessible "boring" log blocks 12 Acacia Wood (up-down) 13 Dark Oak Wood (up-down) 14-15 Inaccessible "boring" wood blocks

1.13		17w47a			The different variant block states and the axis=none block state for both the log and log2 IDs have been split up into their own IDs.
					The item form for wood blocks has been re-added.
					Wood can now be obtained in the inventory, including within the Creative inventory.
					The name of "Wood" has been changed to "Bark".
					Prior to The Flattening, these blocks' numeral IDs were 17 and 162.
		17w47b			A crafting recipe for bark has been added.
		18w22b			Bark blocks can now be rotated.
		pre1			Added top textures of the bark blocks.
		pre2			Added stripped bark.
					The textures of bark have been changed back to how they were before 1.13-pre1.

					Bark IDs have been changed to <type>_wood.
1.14		18w43a			The textures of wood have been changed.
		18w47a			The textures of wood except jungle wood have been changed.
		19w02a			Wood and stripped wood can now be used to craft campfires.
1.15		19w41a			Stripped wood can now be crafted from stripped logs.
1.16		20w10a			Added regular and stripped crimson and warped hyphae.
1.17		21w06a			Corridors in mineshafts now generate with wooden pillars for support if needed.
		21w07a			Oak wood can no longer generate in mineshafts.
1.19		22w11a			Added regular and stripped mangrove wood.
		22w14a			Due to the addition of the mangrove tree and mangrove swamp, make mangrove wood and stripped mangrove wood obtainable and renewable.
1.20 (Experimental)		23w07a			Added regular and stripped cherry wood behind the Update 1.20 experimental datapack.
1.20		23w12a			Cherry wood and its stripped variant are now available without using the "Update 1.20" experimental datapack.
