Wood

Wood is a block that is found in 6 types: Oak, Birch, Spruce, Jungle, Acacia and Dark Oak. It is also the most needed resource in Minecraft. It is a renewable resource, since trees drop saplings, which can be grown back into trees. Wood must be obtained in order to obtain nearly every other item in the game, since most items are crafted using a Crafting Table, which is made out of Wooden Planks. Wood can be obtained by punching or chopping down a tree.

Use in crafting
1 Wood makes 4 Wooden Planks of their respective type in a Crafting Table or in a player's inventory.

Use in smelting
1 Wood can be smelted into 1 Charcoal in a Furnace.

Trivia
]]'''
 * All logs used to be oak colored. These still exist in older worlds and the tooltip is "Log" if broken.
 * When playing the Lite version, logs cannot be picked up. This is because they are not needed, as there are no crafting tables.'''[[File:Chest-Layout.png|thumb|Some pieces of wood near the corner, as seen in a chest
 * Wooden pickaxes are only useful for mining stone and coal thus making it a useful backup tool.
 * To make one wooden Pickaxe to start obtaining Cobblestone on their first day or night, a player must have a minimum of three wood blocks and two sticks. Alas, this is not too much of a difficult task.
