What Is Birch Wood in Minecraft?

Birch Wood is a block made by combining Birch Logs - it has the white birch bark texture on all six sides, unlike a log which has a different top and bottom. It looks great as a full decorative block.

How Does Birch Wood Work?

It has the same pale bark pattern on every face - great for a uniform look.
Right-click it with any Axe to strip it, making Stripped Birch Wood with a lighter, cleaner texture.
An axe breaks it fastest.
It catches fire easily, so keep it away from lava and flames.
