Building with it

Dark Oak Planks come from the two-by-two trees of the dark forest, and they are the darkest ordinary wood in the game. A dark oak trunk drops far more logs than a normal tree, which offsets how gloomy the biome is to work in, and the planks suit builds that need weight without going to stone.

In practice

One log gives four planks, and dark oak is the darkest of the overworld set. Because dark oak trees only grow from four saplings together, the wood is harder to farm than oak or spruce, which is part of why a dark oak build looks deliberate.
