Minecraft Wood Types wood family instructions

Oak

Common forests, plains and nearby woodland; grow from oak saplings.

Spruce

Taiga, snowy taiga and old-growth spruce/pine biomes; often very tall 2Ă—2 spruce trees.

Birch

Birch forests and many temperate woods; collect birch logs and saplings.

Jungle

Jungle biomes; 2Ă—2 jungle trees supply large amounts of logs.

Acacia

Savanna biomes, with angled trunks and warm orange wood.

Dark Oak

Dark forest biomes; grow with four saplings in a 2Ă—2 square.

Mangrove

Mangrove swamps; grow from propagules, sometimes above water.

Cherry

Cherry grove biome; pink cherry trees grow from cherry saplings.

Pale Oak

Pale garden; harvest pale oak logs and saplings and beware creakings at night.

Bamboo

Jungles; craft bamboo blocks and then bamboo planks and mosaic, unlike normal log-to-plank recipes.

Crimson

Nether crimson forests; giant fungi yield crimson stems, a wood-like block.

Warped

Nether warped forests; giant fungi yield warped stems and planks.

Poplar

Dappled forest biome; added to stable Java 26.3. Check edition/version before searching.

Overworld tree wood

Find Oak in common woodland, Spruce in taiga, Birch in birch forest, Jungle in jungle, Acacia in savanna, and Dark Oak in dark forest. Mangrove comes from mangrove swamps, Cherry from cherry groves, Pale Oak from pale gardens, and Poplar from dappled forests (added to Java 26.3).

Bamboo and Nether stems

Bamboo makes a wood-like plank family from bamboo blocks. Crimson and Warped stems are found on huge fungi in their respective Nether forest biomes, not Overworld trees. They are included because their planks support similar building recipes.

Make a builder's material list

Use the complete set or pick Overworld versus other materials, then save them to Checklist. Track which wood sources you've obtained in one world, or use the list to plan material gathering. See the Minecraft structures guide for exploration destinations.
