What Is Birch Log in Minecraft?

A Birch Log is the white, papery trunk of a Birch tree. It has a distinctive black-and-white striped texture that makes it one of the most recognisable wood types in the game.

How Does Birch Log Work?

It orients like a pillar - place it on its side to show the stripes running horizontally.
Right-click it with any Axe to strip off the bark, turning it into a Stripped Birch Log with a lighter texture.
Smelt it in a Furnace to make Charcoal - a great fuel source when coal is hard to find.
One log smelts 1.5 items as a fuel, or produces Charcoal which then smelts 8 items.
