Acacia Planks
Acacia Planks burst with a vivid orange tone, the boldest wood option for savanna builds and desert outposts.
Description
The orange tone makes Acacia Planks a builder's accent block: a stripe of them across an oak roof, a frame around a desert window, a deck behind sand-coloured walls. They craft into the full set of doors, fences, slabs, stairs, signs, boats, ladders, and chests, which means a savanna village can be built end-to-end without ever importing other wood. The material burns and smelts identically to its cousins.

How to Craft and Use Acacia Planks in Minecraft
-
1
Find a savanna biome
Acacia trees grow only in savanna, windswept savanna, and savanna plateau biomes. Look for flat open terrain covered in tall brown grass with scattered trees that have a distinctive bent trunk and Y-shaped canopy.
-
2
Harvest acacia logs
Break acacia log blocks with your fist or any tool — an axe is fastest. Collect as many logs as needed, since each acacia log converts to exactly 4 Acacia Planks on the crafting grid.
-
3
Convert logs to Acacia Planks
Open your inventory (press E) and place one or more acacia logs into any crafting slot. No specific arrangement is required — each log instantly yields 4 Acacia Planks.
-
4
Craft wood-based items
Use Acacia Planks to craft the full acacia wood set: doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, slabs, stairs, signs, pressure plates, buttons, boats, ladders, and chests — all in the distinctive orange tone.
-
5
Use as furnace fuel if needed
Acacia Planks smelt 1.5 items per plank in a furnace or blast furnace, making them a reliable early-game fuel source when coal is scarce.
Acacia Planks catch fire from lava, campfires, and spreading flame. Avoid placing them directly adjacent to open flame sources in survival builds.
