Minecraft:Log/Upstream

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 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.

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, or jungle. Additionally, one jungle log generates for each Minecraft:jungle bush. Stems generate naturally as part of Minecraft:huge fungi.

Usage

Crafting ingredient

Further crafting

The following table presents the amount of logs or stems needed to produce an even multiple of a given item with no waste left over, and the quantity produced:

Smelting ingredient

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.

Axes

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

Cocoa beans

Minecraft:Cocoa beans can be placed on the side of jungle logs to grow a new cocoa pod.

Note blocks

Logs and stems can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb logs, either through picking them up or being interacted whilst holding them. This provides the rubber ball/bouncy effect to the mob when hitting it.
