Ubiquitous in most biomes (excluding deserts and icy tundras), oak wood is a versatile staple for planks, sticks, fences, ladders, and more. Oak trees yield apples, useful for early-game sustenance or crafting golden apples. Its neutral tone lends itself to diverse builds, from rustic homes to urban structures.

Birch

Jungle

These towering trees, exclusive to jungle biomes, boast a bright hue, often used for decorative elements. Jungle trees also produce cocoa beans, making them valuable for cocoa farms. Their exotic appearance suits adventure-themed builds or pirate hideouts.

Acacia

Acacia wood's reddish tint and unique, horizontally branching structure are hallmarks of savanna biomes. It's perfect for ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, or African-inspired constructions.

Dark Oak

This rich, chocolate-brown wood is a favorite for castles and medieval structures, though found only in Roofed Forests and requiring four saplings for planting. Its deep texture creates luxurious interiors or imposing doors.

Pale Oak

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but boasts gray tones and hanging moss. Its trunk contains "skripcevina," summoning hostile "skripuns" at night. It pairs beautifully with dark oak, offering textural consistency with contrasting colors.

Mangrove

One of the Nether's two wood types, warped wood's turquoise color is perfect for fantasy builds. Its bright texture suits magic towers, mystical portals, or decorative gardens. Importantly, Nether wood is fire-resistant.

Crimson

The Nether's other wood type, crimson wood's red-purple hue is ideal for dark or demonic themes. Its fire resistance makes it suitable for hazardous environments. It's popular for Nether-themed interiors.

Cherry

Similar to oak but with distinctive features, azalea trees grow above lush caves. It's one of two trees with a root system. While its wood is standard oak, the tree's unique blossoms add visual interest.
