Stripped Birch Log
minecraft:stripped_birch_logStripped Birch Log is created by using an axe on a Birch Log while sneaking, permanently removing its bark to expose the pale wood underneath. It shares the same hardness and blast resistance as the unstripped log and is fully interchangeable with it in furnaces, crafting tables, and building projects. Beyond raw building use, it is a key ingredient for birch planks, stripped birch wood, hanging signs, shelves, campfires, and smokers, making it a staple resource once a player starts customizing their base's look.
