Ubiquitous in most biomes (excluding deserts and tundras), oak wood is versatile for various creations: planks, sticks, fences, ladders, and more. Oak trees yield apples, useful early-game food or golden apple crafting components. Its neutral tone suits diverse architectural styles, from rustic homes to cityscapes.
Birch

Found in birch and mixed biomes, birch wood's light, patterned texture lends itself to modern or minimalist designs. It complements stone and glass, creating bright, airy interiors.
Spruce

Dark spruce wood evokes gothic or grim aesthetics. Its tall stature presents a slight harvesting challenge. Common in taiga and snowy biomes, its texture adds a robust feel to medieval castles, bridges, or country houses.
Jungle

Jungle trees, towering giants found exclusively in jungle biomes, boast a bright hue, ideal for decorative elements. Their cocoa bean yields make them valuable for cocoa farms. Their exotic appearance suits adventure-themed builds or pirate bases.
Acacia

Acacia wood's reddish tint complements desert biomes. Its unique, horizontally spreading branches create distinctive savanna structures. It's perfect for ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, or African-inspired builds.
Dark Oak

This rich, chocolate-brown wood is popular for castles and medieval structures. Found only in Roofed Forests, its deep texture creates luxurious interiors or imposing doors. Requires four saplings for planting.
Pale Oak

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but features gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night) add unique gameplay elements. It contrasts beautifully with dark oak.
Mangrove

A recent addition, mangrove wood, found in mangrove swamps, has a reddish-brown hue. Its roots serve as decorative building components. It's perfect for authentic wooden piers, bridges, or swamp-themed constructions.
Warped

One of the Nether's two wood types, warped wood's turquoise color creates unique fantasy builds. Its bright texture is ideal for magic towers, mystical portals, or decorative gardens. Nether wood is non-flammable.
Crimson

The Nether's other wood type, crimson wood's red-purple hue suits dark or demonic themes. Non-flammable, it's perfect for hazardous environments and Nether-themed interiors.
Cherry

Azalea
