Description
Mangrove wood is the raw whole log style block that contains both the bark and inner wood of mangrove trees. Unlike processed planks the mangrove wood block is useful when you want a chunky natural look that reads as an unprocessed beam or trunk. It can be used for rustic columns, for furniture and for sculptural builds where the natural irregularity of the wood is desirable. Mangrove wood keeps the same darker warm tone as other mangrove wood family blocks and is helpful when you want to show large pieces of timber or for building boat like structures and docks. It can be stripped using an axe to reveal a stripped wood texture which provides an alternate finish for contrast. Mangrove wood burns if exposed to open flame and so you should consider safe lighting placements. It is renewable by planting propagules to regrow mangrove trees and is part of a sustainable building loop. Use mangrove wood to anchor builds visually to the surrounding mangrove swamp biome and to create a naturalistic maritime architecture that matches the roots and leaves of the trees.
What is Mangrove Wood?
Mangrove wood is the full log like block representing unprocessed tree wood. It is used for large beams, posts and decorative structural elements and it is part of the mangrove wood material family used for construction and crafting.
Where to find Mangrove Wood
Mangrove wood appears naturally in mangrove swamp biomes as the trunks and branches of mangrove trees. You will find large clusters of these logs near water and in muddy areas where mangrove trees prefer to grow. Harvesting these logs provides the raw material to make planks and other mangrove wood items.
How to get Mangrove Wood
Cut mangrove logs with an axe to collect mangrove wood blocks. Trade and village structures may have wooden elements but logs are usually harvested by players from natural trees. Strip logs with an axe to produce a stripped variant for different looks and then process into planks at a crafting table.
