Overview
Oak Log is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through chopping (Axe) and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Oak Log. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.
Oak Log has a hardness of 2. Use an axe on Oak Log to speed it up; no particular tier is required. Its blast resistance repeats that 2, so Oak Log offers no shelter. Generated chests only ever hold Oak Log in one place: the bonus chest (about 26%, 1 to 3 at a time).
How to Obtain
- Chopping (Axe)
- Natural generation
Fuel Value
Burns for 15 seconds (300 ticks), enough to smelt 1.5 items
Notes
Six bark sides face outward; the rings show on the cut ends.
