About Birch Planks
Birch planks are a pale, light-coloured wood block made from birch logs. They are a common choice for floors, walls, and furniture because they look brighter and cleaner than darker wood types.
They stack to 64 and can be crafted into the usual wooden set, including stairs, slabs, fences, doors, trapdoors, and signs. Like other wooden blocks, they are flammable, so keep them away from fire and lava.
How to get Birch Planks
The main way to get birch planks is by crafting them from birch wood. One birch log placed in a crafting grid gives you four planks, and stripped birch logs or birch wood work as well. Find a birch tree in a birch forest or other forested biome, chop the trunk, and convert it in your inventory or crafting table.
You can also collect birch planks from some woodland mansion floors and walls, but crafting is the simple, reliable route for most players.
