All Wood Types in Minecraft: Every Tree and Where to Find It

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Minecraft has 13 wood types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, pale oak, poplar, crimson and warped stems, plus bamboo planks. Overworld trees grow in their own biomes (cherry in cherry groves, pale oak in the pale garden, poplar in the dappled forest), crimson and warped fungi grow in the Nether, and every type makes the full set of planks, stairs, slabs, fences, doors and boats.

What you need

An axe (any tier) for faster chopping
Saplings or fungi to farm each type at home
Bone meal to speed up tree growth

Step by step

Oak: the default tree of plains, forests, riversides and many other biomes; occasionally drops apples. Medium brown, the most versatile look.
Spruce: taigas, snowy plains, windswept hills and old growth taigas (where it grows giant 2x2). Dark brown, great for cabins.
Birch: birch forests and old growth birch forests (extra-tall trunks). White bark, pale yellow planks - the brightest Overworld wood.
Jungle: jungles, with giant 2x2 variants and cocoa pods on the trunks. Warm light brown planks.
Acacia: savannas, with its angled branching trunk. Vivid orange planks - love it or hate it.
Dark oak: dark forests, grows only as a 2x2 tree. Deep brown planks, the classic mansion wood.
Mangrove: mangrove swamps, grown from propagules that hang off the leaves. Reddish planks; mud roots included.
Cherry: cherry groves on mountain slopes, pink leaves with falling petals. Soft pink planks.
Pale oak: the pale garden, grey-white wood - plant 4 pale oak saplings in a 2x2 to grow one, and watch for creaking hearts.
Poplar: the dappled forest biome, with red, orange or yellow autumn leaves and especially large canopies; check fallen trunks for free logs. Light brown planks.
Crimson stem: crimson forests in the Nether, grown from crimson fungi on nylium. Purple-red planks, and fireproof like all Nether wood.
Warped stem: warped forests, grown from warped fungi. Cyan-blue planks, also fireproof.
Bamboo bonus: bamboo stalks craft into bamboo planks (and bamboo mosaic), a yellow-green wood set - farm it in jungles and bamboo jungles.
Every type crafts the full block family: planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, hanging signs, pressure plates, buttons and boats.

Java vs Bedrock

Farm every type once and you never travel for wood again: each tree regrows from its own sapling, and Nether fungi regrow with bone meal on nylium.

Versions: All 13 types are current as of 26.x on Java and Bedrock - poplar arrived with the dappled forest in the Drop 3 of 2026.

Frequently asked questions

How many wood types are in Minecraft?

13 as of 26.x: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, pale oak, poplar, crimson and warped stems, plus the bamboo plank set crafted from bamboo stalks.

Which wood is fireproof?

Crimson and warped - the two Nether woods. Their planks, stairs, slabs, doors and fences do not burn, which makes them ideal for builds near lava or fireplaces.

Where do I find poplar wood?

In the dappled forest biome - poplars generate only there, with red, orange or yellow leaves. Look for fallen trunks too: the biome has more fallen trees than any other, and they are free logs.
