About Dark Oak Planks
Dark Oak Planks are a wooden building block with a deep brown colour, noticeably darker than most other plank types. That makes them a popular choice for roofs, floors, and builds that need a moodier look.
Like other planks, they are flammable and can be used as furnace fuel. You can also craft them into many wooden items, including stairs, slabs, fences, doors, trapdoors, signs, and boats.
How to get Dark Oak Planks
You get Dark Oak Planks by crafting dark oak logs, which come from dark oak trees in the Dark Forest biome. Each log gives four planks, so a single tree can provide a good amount of material.
Dark oak trees are large and have a thick canopy, so you may need to climb or clear branches to reach all the wood. You can also find dark oak planks already placed in structures built from dark oak, such as woodland mansions, but crafting is the reliable way to get them in large quantities.
