Ubiquitous except in deserts and icy tundras, oak wood's versatility makes it ideal for planks, sticks, fences, and ladders. Oak trees yield apples, useful for early-game sustenance or golden apple crafting. Its neutral tone suits various building styles, from rustic to modern.

Birch

Spruce

Dark spruce wood, harvested from taiga and snowy biomes, is perfect for gothic or grim structures. Its robust texture is well-suited for medieval castles, bridges, or country houses.

Jungle

These towering jungle trees yield bright wood primarily used for decoration. Their cocoa bean crops make them valuable for cocoa farming. Jungle wood’s exotic appearance suits adventure-themed or pirate builds.

Acacia

Acacia's reddish hue is striking in savanna biomes. Its unusual branching pattern makes it ideal for ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, or African-inspired structures.

Dark Oak

Found in Roofed Forests, dark oak's rich, chocolate-brown shade is popular for castles and medieval builds. Its deep texture creates luxurious interiors or impressive doors.

Pale Oak

Rare to the Pale Garden biome, pale oak mirrors dark oak's texture but in gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning skripuns at night) add unique elements. It pairs well with dark oak for contrasting effects.

Mangrove
