Description

Stripped Pale Oak Log is the bark-removed version of Pale Oak Log, added in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4 "The Garden Awakens" and Bedrock Edition 1.21.50 on December 3, 2024. Stripped Pale Oak Log reveals the inner grain of pale oak — the lightest, almost off-white wood texture in the game, ideal for clean modern interiors, Nordic-style builds, and bone-white columns. Stripped Pale Oak Log cannot be obtained by mining alone; players create Stripped Pale Oak Log by using an axe on a placed Pale Oak Log (right-click on Java, tap with axe on Bedrock), and the action also yields a small experience drop. Stripped Pale Oak Log keeps the standard log stats — hardness 2, blast resistance 2 — and an axe remains the fastest tool for breaking it. Stripped Pale Oak Log is flammable and works as furnace fuel just like the un-stripped log. Stripped Pale Oak Log can be crafted into 4 Pale Oak Planks per block (the planks recipe is shared with the regular log) and into 3 Stripped Pale Oak Wood when 4 stripped logs are placed in a 2x2 grid.

Guide

How to make a Stripped Pale Oak Log in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Obtain a Pale Oak Log

    Chop a pale oak tree in the Pale Garden biome with an axe until at least one Pale Oak Log drops into your inventory.

  2. 2

    Place the log

    Set the Pale Oak Log into the world on any solid surface; the strip interaction needs a placed block, not a hand-held item.

  3. 3

    Hold an axe

    Wield any axe — wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, or netherride — and aim at the placed Pale Oak Log.

  4. 4

    Use the axe on the log

    Right-click on Java Edition or tap with the axe on Bedrock Edition to strip the bark; a small experience drop is awarded.

  5. 5

    Build with the result

    Use Stripped Pale Oak Log for near-white pillars and beams, or craft 4 Pale Oak Planks per block or 3 Stripped Pale Oak Wood from 4 blocks.
