Ubiquitous except in deserts and icy tundras, oak's versatility shines in planks, sticks, fences, and ladders. Oak trees yield apples, valuable early-game food and a golden apple component. Its neutral tone suits diverse builds, from rustic homes to cityscapes.

Birch

Found in birch and mixed forests, birch's light wood and distinctive pattern lend themselves to modern or minimalist designs. It complements stone and glass, creating bright, airy interiors.

Spruce

Dark spruce wood evokes gothic architecture. Its tall stature presents a harvesting challenge. Common in taiga and snowy biomes, spruce's robust texture is ideal for medieval castles, bridges, and country homes.

Jungle

Jungle's towering trees, exclusive to jungle biomes, offer bright wood primarily for decoration. Cocoa beans grow on these trees, making them essential for cocoa farms. Their exotic appearance suits adventure-themed or pirate builds.

Acacia

Acacia's reddish hue is striking in savanna biomes. Its unusual, horizontally spreading branches create unique building opportunities. It's perfect for ethnic villages, desert bridges, and African-inspired structures.

Dark Oak

This rich, chocolate-brown wood is a favorite for castles and medieval builds. Found only in Roofed Forests, it requires four saplings to plant. Its deep texture creates luxurious interiors and impressive doors.

Pale Oak

Rare, found only in Pale Gardens, pale oak mirrors dark oak's texture but in gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night) add unique elements. Its contrasting color with dark oak offers interesting design possibilities.

Mangrove

Warped

One of the Nether's two wood types, warped wood's turquoise color creates unique fantasy builds. Its bright texture is ideal for magic towers, portals, and decorative gardens. Nether wood is non-flammable.

Crimson

Cherry

Similar to oak but with distinctive features, azalea trees grow above lush caves. It's one of two trees with a root system. Azalea wood is standard oak, but the tree itself offers unique aesthetic appeal.
