Oak Planks block in Minecraft
These planks are sawn from the common oak of forests and plains. Planks are the basic wooden building block: one log gives four, and they go into crafting tables, chests, tools and countless other recipes.
It is made with the Crafting Table from Oak 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.
What it does
Most recipes accept planks of any wood: a Crafting Table, a Chest, Sticks, wooden tools, a Barrel or a Bowl can be made from any mix. Recipes that keep the look of the wood, such as slabs, stairs, doors, fences, signs and boats, need planks of a single kind.
Overworld planks burn as fuel, each enough to smelt one and a half items, and they catch fire easily. Crimson and warped planks from the Nether never burn, which makes them the safe choice near lava.
