Ubiquitous except in deserts and icy tundras, oak wood is a versatile crafting staple. Create planks, sticks, fences, ladders, and even golden apples (using dropped apples). Its neutral tone suits diverse builds, from rustic homes to grand cityscapes.

Birch

Dark spruce wood evokes a gothic aesthetic. Its tall trees, found in taiga and snowy biomes, present a slightly more challenging harvest. The wood's robust texture is perfect for medieval castles, bridges, and country houses.

Acacia wood's reddish hue complements desert biomes. Its unique, horizontally branching structure makes it perfect for ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, and African-inspired designs.

Dark Oak

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

Pale Oak

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but boasts gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night) add unique elements. It contrasts beautifully with dark oak.

Mangrove
