Types of Stipped Wood

There are 11 types of stripped wooden blocks in Minecraft:

• Acacia
• Bamboo
• Birch
• Cherry
• Crimson
• Dark oak
• Jungle
• Mangrove
• Oak
• Spruce
• Warped

Out of these, the crimson and warped hyphae (fungus) stem spawn in the Nether dimension of Minecraft. This unique spawn location makes them non-flammable, which is a great option for a fire-proof wooden house.

Meanwhile, you can find all the other types of wood within the overworld dimension of Minecraft. The only exception here is bamboo wood which doesn't spawn anywhere in the game. But, more on that later. For now, let's figure out how to make stripped wood using blocks you can find naturally.

Where Does Stripped Wood Spawn

Naturally, you can find the stripped variants of wood in the snowy and plains village in the overworld. All the other types of stripped wood blocks don't spawn in the world. Instead, you have to figure out how to make stripped wood in Minecraft to obtain the entire collection.

However, if you want to rely on exploration then our guide on how to find a village in Minecraft will help. It will provide you with helpful tips and strategies to locate villages within the game world.

How to Make Stripped Wood in Minecraft

Follow these simple steps to make stripped wood in Minecraft:

1. First, find a tree and break one of its logs to collect it. You can even use cherry wood from the new Cherry Grove biome for the purpose.

2. Then, place the log block on a crafting table or in your inventory to turn it into planks.

3. Next, place two planks vertically next to each other to turn them into sticks.

4. Then, use the following crafting recipe to combine planks and sticks to craft an axe in Minecraft. Later, you can use our Minecraft 1.20 ore distribution guide to make stronger variants of the axe with better minerals.

5. Then, stand next to a log or stem block and use your axe on it. The wooded block will change its texture and turn into stripped wood.

6. Then, you can use the same axe or any other tool in Minecraft to break the stripped wood and collect it.

With 11 distinct types of hanging signs available, you can incorporate them creatively into your structures. Some players even utilize hanging signs as targets to test their aim using a crossbow in Minecraft.
