Minecraft:Planks

Template:For Template:Infobox block Planks are common Minecraft:blocks used as building blocks and in Minecraft:crafting recipes. They are usually one of the first things that a Minecraft:player crafts in Minecraft:Survival mode. There are currently 13 variants of planks, which can be differentiated into three categories: Overworld planks made from Minecraft:tree logs, bamboo planks made from Minecraft:blocks of bamboo, and nonflammable Nether planks made from Minecraft:huge fungus stems.

Planks can be broken by hand, but using an Minecraft:axe speeds up the process. Template:Breaking row

Usage

Planks can be used to build structures, craft ingredients, or as Minecraft:fuel for smelting. Crimson planks and warped planks, however, cannot be used as fuel.

Crafting ingredient

Planks are used in many different crafting recipes. Minecraft:Stairs, Minecraft:slabs, Minecraft:fences, Minecraft:fence gates, Minecraft:doors, Minecraft:trapdoors, Minecraft:pressure plates, Minecraft:buttons, Minecraft:signs, and Minecraft:boats 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. Crimson and warped planks cannot be used to make boats.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Template:Crafting usage

Fuel

Minecraft:Overworld planks can be used as a Minecraft:fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, Minecraft:smelting 1.5 Minecraft:items per Minecraft:block.

Minecraft:Nether planks (crimson and warped planks) cannot be used as Minecraft:fuel, although they can be crafted into sticks or tools, which can be used as fuel.

Trivia

• To craft each recipe once, a player would need 152 planks, including 10 for the recipes that require Minecraft:sticks, and 6 for wooden Minecraft:slabs. To craft all the other 10 wood variants of all recipes, the player would need an extra 384 planks, plus another 36 planks for the 72 sticks needed to make the Minecraft:fence, Minecraft:fence gate, and Minecraft:sign variants, adding up to a total of 572 planks.
• Because the 13 variants of wooden planks can be used interchangeably in many recipes, there are 28561 ways of crafting a Minecraft:crafting table, 4.8 million ways of crafting a Minecraft:shield, 816 million ways of crafting a Minecraft:chest, Minecraft:jukebox, or Minecraft:note block, and 10.6 billion ways of crafting a Minecraft:chiseled bookshelf.
