Dark Oak Wood
minecraft:dark_oak_woodDark Oak Wood is a bark-textured block showing dark oak bark on all six faces, unlike a log which keeps ring texture on its two ends. It is a purely decorative building block crafted from logs.
Uses
- Building Material — Used purely for decoration and construction where an all-bark texture is preferred over log rings; can also be stripped with an axe into Stripped Dark Oak Wood.
- Furnace Fuel — Burns in a furnace for 15 seconds per block, the same as a log, making it a viable fuel source.
Found In
- Crafting Table — Crafted from 4 dark oak logs (or stripped logs) arranged in a 2x2 grid, yielding 3 wood blocks.
- Dark Oak Forests — Not naturally generated as wood — obtained by harvesting and crafting dark oak logs from Dark Forest biomes.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Dark Oak Wood?
None required — it can be broken by hand, though an axe is fastest and always drops the block itself.
Does Dark Oak Wood burn?
Yes, like most wood-based blocks it is flammable and will burn away if exposed to fire.
What's the difference between Dark Oak Wood and Dark Oak Log?
Wood shows bark texture on every face, while a log shows ring texture on its two ends; both function identically otherwise.
Can I strip Dark Oak Wood?
Yes, right-clicking with an axe converts it into Stripped Dark Oak Wood, removing the bark pattern.
