Cherry Wood
Cherry Wood wraps a cherry log in bark on all six sides — a pale greyish-brown block for pastel and Japanese-style builds.
Description
Cherry Wood is axis-rotatable, so the bark texture wraps every face for clean pillars, corner posts, and trim. Stripping Cherry Wood with any axe turns it into Stripped Cherry Wood, revealing a warm salmon-pink interior unique among Minecraft woods. Cherry Wood is flammable and can be crafted into four Cherry Planks per block, then on into stairs, slabs, fences, doors, and signs of the cherry set. Builders pick Cherry Wood for spring-blossom themes, shrine builds, and soft pink accents that no other vanilla wood provides.
