Wood or hyphae is a block that has the log's "bark" texture on all six sides. It comes in 9 types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, 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.

Natural generation

Oak wood and stripped oak wood generate in plains villages.

Acacia wood generates in savanna villages.

Spruce wood and stripped spruce wood generate in snowy plains, 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 and hyphae can be placed in three orientations, similarly to normal logs.

Crafting ingredient

Smelting ingredient

Fuel

Wood and stripped wood can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Hyphae and stripped hyphae cannot be used as a fuel in furnaces.

Cocoa beans

Cocoa beans can be placed on the side of both jungle logs and stripped jungle logs to grow new cocoa pods.

Note blocks

Wood and hyphae can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

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 exists as a metadata variant of the usual log block, likely implemented unintentionally as these values were never initially intended to be used.
					The item form of logs with damage values corresponding to that of wood blocks appear to be wood blocks, but when placed act as normal logs. More information on this item can be found at Invalid Data Value Log.
					Wood drops normal logs when broken normally, however Silk Touch results in the wood "item" version being dropped instead.[verify]
		1.3			Wood now drops logs even when broken with Silk Touch.
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 no model 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
