Crafting ingredient[edit]
Planks are used in many crafting recipes. Doors, fences, fence gates, slabs, stairs, boats, trapdoors, pressure plates, and buttons must be crafted from planks of the same species and will match the species used. For other products, planks of different species can be mixed freely and the wood species in the product is indeterminate.

Planks can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.
Repairing[edit]
Wooden pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, swords, and shields can be repaired with planks in an anvil.
