Description

Stripped Dark Oak Log is created by using any axe on a Dark Oak Log, which shears off the bark and reveals a smooth, deep chocolate-brown surface with darker concentric rings on each end. Dark Oak Logs grow only in the Dark Forest biome, where dark oak trees rise as 2×2 trunks, so Stripped Dark Oak Log carries the darkest wood tone in the vanilla palette. Added in Java Edition 1.13 and Bedrock Edition 1.13, Stripped Dark Oak Log can be placed along the X, Y, or Z axis like any pillar block and has a hardness of 2 with low blast resistance.

Stripped Dark Oak Log crafts into four Dark Oak Planks per log, or into three Stripped Dark Oak Wood when four logs are arranged in a 2×2 grid. Because Stripped Dark Oak Log is flammable, it can also serve as furnace fuel, smelting about 1.5 items per log. Builders favour Stripped Dark Oak Log for exposed support beams, timber framing on plaster houses, and dark modern facades, where the clean bark-free face reads tidier than the streaky bark of a raw log.

    Find a Dark Oak Log

    Travel to the Dark Forest biome and chop or place a Dark Oak Log within reach.
