Birch Planks block in Minecraft
These planks are sawn from the pale birch of birch forests. Planks are the basic wooden building block: one log gives four, and they go into crafting tables, chests, tools and countless other recipes. All planks work alike; the Oak Planks page explains their uses.
It is made with the Crafting Table from Birch Log (or another variant). It is mined with an axe. As fuel it burns for 15 seconds in a Furnace, enough to smelt 1.5 items.
