What is Cherry Wood in Minecraft?
Cherry wood is a special block that has the dark cherry bark texture on all six of its sides. This is different from a regular cherry log, which has the pink wood grain texture on the top and bottom. Because it has a consistent bark pattern all around, cherry wood is a fantastic choice for building things like pillars, beams, or log cabin walls where you want a uniform, dark look with a hint of green. It allows builders to create structures that look like they are made of whole tree trunks without the distracting circular ends of normal logs. It is part of the cherry wood family, known for its striking contrast between the dark bark and the soft pink planks.
How to get Cherry Wood in Minecraft
To get cherry wood, you first need to gather regular cherry logs. You can find cherry logs by chopping down cherry trees, which grow in the beautiful cherry grove biome. These trees are easy to spot due to their pink leaves. Once you have at least four cherry logs, you can craft them into cherry wood. Open up a crafting table and place four cherry logs in a two by two square. This recipe will give you three cherry wood blocks. It is important to remember that this process is not reversible in the same way. While you can turn cherry wood back into logs, placing one cherry wood block in a crafting grid will give you four cherry planks, not the original logs. Cherry wood blocks do not generate naturally in the world, so crafting is the only way to obtain them.
How to use Cherry Wood in Minecraft
The primary use for cherry wood is in building and decoration. Its main advantage is the consistent bark texture on every side. This makes it perfect for creating seamless wooden posts, support beams, and log cabin style walls without the circular log ends breaking up the pattern. You can use it to frame doorways and windows or to build a rustic looking fence. It pairs beautifully with the pink cherry planks and other light colored blocks. Just like regular cherry logs, you can use an axe on cherry wood to strip it, creating stripped cherry wood, which also has a uniform texture on all six sides but shows the smooth pink wood instead of the dark bark. This gives you even more design possibilities. You can also use cherry wood as a fuel source in a furnace.
