About Stick

The stick is a basic crafting material and one of the most used items in Minecraft. It does nothing on its own, but it appears in dozens of recipes, including wooden tools and weapons, torches, ladders, fences, signs, and levers.

Key facts:

  • Used in a huge range of crafting recipes throughout the game.
  • Stacks up to 64.
  • Can be used as furnace fuel; two sticks smelt one item.

How to get Stick

The quickest way to get sticks is crafting. Two wooden planks of any type produce four sticks, and two bamboo produce one stick.

You can also find sticks while exploring. Leaf blocks sometimes drop them when they decay or are broken, and dead bushes drop sticks as well. Witches can drop sticks when defeated, and sticks occasionally appear as fishing junk.
