Crafting[edit]
Chest loot[edit]
Oak planks can be found in 70.5% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–12.
In Bedrock Edition they can be found in all bonus chests in stacks of 1–12.
Usage[edit]
Planks can be used for building structures, as crafting ingredients, and as fuel.
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 type, and the crafted result depends on the type used. For other products, planks of different types can be mixed freely and the wood types in the product is indeterminate.
Fuel[edit]
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.

Block data[edit]
In Bedrock Edition, wood planks use the following data values:

---|---|---|
0 | Oak Planks | |
1 | Spruce Planks | |
2 | Birch Planks | |
3 | Jungle Planks | |
4 | Acacia Planks | |
5 | Dark Oak Planks |
If a command is used to create planks with data value 6 or higher, the resulting planks have the name "Oak Wood Planks" but don't have a texture. They can't be used to craft stairs, slabs, doors, fences or gates. If placed, they become actual oak planks.

Trivia[edit]
- Many items crafted using planks or sticks have textures that most resemble oak planks, regardless of the species used to craft them. On the other hand, item frames and fletching tables resemble birch planks, cartography tables resemble dark oak planks, barrels resemble spruce planks, while smithing tables do not resemble any planks.
