About Dark Oak Wood

Dark Oak Wood is a building block with bark texture on all six faces. That sets it apart from a regular Dark Oak Log, which shows a lighter ring pattern on its cut ends. Builders often use it for beams, pillars, or anywhere they want the trunk to look consistent from every angle.

You can use an axe on it to strip the bark, turning it into Stripped Dark Oak Wood. Like other wood blocks, it also works as furnace fuel, and it is flammable, so keep it away from fire and lava.

How to get Dark Oak Wood

You get Dark Oak Wood by crafting it. Arrange four Dark Oak Logs in a 2x2 grid and you will receive three Dark Oak Wood blocks. Dark oak logs come from dark oak trees, which grow in the Dark Forest biome. Trees drop the log form rather than this bark block, so crafting is the usual route to obtain it.
