Block of Bamboo
minecraft:bamboo_blockThe Block of Bamboo is a log-like building block crafted from nine bamboo arranged in a 3x3 grid, and unlike most craft-and-uncraft blocks it cannot be turned back into bamboo. It can be stripped with an axe for a different texture, crafted into two bamboo planks, or burned as furnace fuel. It gives builders a warm, densely-grained wood option that ties the bamboo set together.
FAQ
How do you craft a Block of Bamboo?
Fill a 3x3 crafting grid with nine bamboo to make one Block of Bamboo. Note that it cannot be crafted back into bamboo afterward.
Can a Block of Bamboo be made into planks?
Yes. Each Block of Bamboo crafts into two bamboo planks, and those planks in turn feed the wider bamboo building and boat recipes.
Is a Block of Bamboo good furnace fuel?
It works as fuel, smelting about 1.5 items per block, though crafting it into planks first is more efficient since bamboo planks smelt three items each.
Can you make charcoal from a Block of Bamboo?
No. Unlike ordinary logs, blocks of bamboo cannot be smelted into charcoal, which sets them apart from other wood types.
