Wood or hyphae is a block that has the log's "bark" texture on all six sides. It comes in 8 types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson, and warped.

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

Obtaining

Breaking

Wood and hyphae can be broken by hand, but using an axe speeds up the process.

Hardness	2

Default	3
Wooden	1.5
Stone	0.75
Iron	0.5
Diamond	0.4
Netherite	0.35
Golden	0.25

Natural generation

Oak wood and stripped oak wood generate in plains villages.

Acacia wood and stripped acacia wood generate in savanna villages.

Spruce wood and stripped spruce wood generate in snowy tundra, 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.

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 or hyphae can be used as a decorative block in place of normal logs or stems.

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 has an item form, obtainable only through commands or external tools. When placed, it acts like a normal log.
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 a missing texture 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.
					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.
		pre5			Bark blocks have been changed back to <type> Wood.
					Bark IDs have been changed to <type>_wood.
1.14		18w43a			The textures of 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.
Pocket Edition Alpha

Bedrock Edition
1.4.0		beta 1.2.13.8			Added stripped bark as part of Experimental Gameplay.
					Stripped bark can be placed only with /setblock ~ ~ ~ stripped_<type>_log 3.

					Wood now exists as a separate block; previously placed wood looks the same, but still drops logs instead of wood.
