Bamboo Planks
Bamboo Planks have a vivid yellow tone with vertical grain — added in 1.20 alongside a full bamboo wood family.

Description
Bamboo Planks were added in 1.20 and were the first time bamboo got promoted from background prop to a fully-fledged building material. The crafting chain is unique: nine bamboo stalks compress into one bamboo block, and one bamboo block produces two planks on the crafting grid. The result is a vivid yellow material with vertical striations, completely unlike the horizontal grain of every other wood family.
In addition to the standard doors, fences, slabs, stairs, signs, boats, hanging signs, and chests, this material unlocks one extra recipe found nowhere else: bamboo mosaic, a decorative variant with diagonal lines that further emphasizes the Asian-inspired aesthetic. Bamboo grows quickly even on poor terrain and can be farmed reliably, making Bamboo Planks one of the few wood types a player can produce at scale without ever leaving a single biome. The material burns and fuels furnaces just like any other plank.
