Minecraft:Log

Template:For Template:Split Template:Infobox block A log or stem is a naturally occurring Minecraft:block found in Minecraft:trees or Minecraft:huge fungi, primarily used as a building block and to create Minecraft:planks, a versatile Minecraft:crafting ingredient. There are currently nine types of logs: Minecraft:oak, Minecraft:spruce, Minecraft:birch, jungle, Minecraft:acacia, Minecraft:dark oak, Minecraft:mangrove, Minecraft:cherry blossom, and Minecraft:pale oak; and two types of stems: crimson, and warped. The upcoming Minecraft:third drop of 2026 will introduce Minecraft:poplar as the tenth log type.

Obtaining

Breaking

Logs and stems can be broken by hand, but using an Minecraft:axe is faster. Logs and stems drop themselves when broken with any tool. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

All types of logs generate naturally as part of Minecraft:trees, although Minecraft:fallen trees can only contain oak, spruce, birch, jungle, or poplar.Template:Upcoming Azalea trees are generated with oak logs. Additionally, one jungle log generates for each Minecraft:jungle bush. Stems generate naturally as part of Minecraft:huge fungi.

In addition to trees:

Logs and stems

Trees can be grown using Minecraft:saplings or Minecraft:azalea, and huge fungi can be grown using small Minecraft:Nether fungi.

Template:Smelting Stems cannot be smelted into charcoal.

Fuel

Logs, but not stems, can be used as a Minecraft:fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Stripping

Template:Control an Minecraft:axe on a log or stem strips it, turning it into a Minecraft:stripped log or a Minecraft:stripped stem, which act the same as regular logs or stems.
