Its bark comes from the pale birch of birch forests. Wood blocks are logs with bark on every face, made for walls and trunks that look natural from all sides. All wood blocks work alike; see the Oak Wood page.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 4 × Birch Log. It is mined with an axe. As fuel it burns for 15 seconds in a Furnace, enough to smelt 1.5 items.
