Oak Log at a glance

Utility Blocks holds Oak Log: a block out of chopping (Axe) and natural world generation. Stack Oak Log 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest. Feed Oak Log to a furnace and 1.5 smelts follow, 96 from a stack of 64.

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). It sits between Oak Leaves and Oak Planks in Utility Blocks, number 218 of 340 there.
