Acacia Planks

Overview

Acacia Planks is one of the 12 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Planks is the same shape in a different material.

In Minecraft 1.21.4, Acacia Planks is a wooden block. Acacia Planks has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 2 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.

Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Acacia Log.

It is an ingredient in 49 recipes, among them Acacia Boat, Acacia Button, Acacia Door and 46 more.

About the acacia set

Acacia is the orange wood, and it is the only one — no other tree in Minecraft produces planks in that colour, which is why acacia turns up in builds that need warmth without going red. It grows only in savanna and savanna plateau, on a trunk that leans diagonally under a flat spreading canopy, so felling one leaves floating log segments unless you cut from the top down. The set is the standard twelve-piece one: planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, hanging signs, buttons, pressure plates and a boat, all sharing a hardness of 2, a blast resistance of 3, and the same recipes as every other wood. Remember that savanna never rains, so an acacia build has no natural fire protection at all — keep lava, campfires and furnaces well away from it, or add a lightning rod.

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 2, Acacia Planks takes 3 seconds to punch out and 0.35 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

You are looking at 0.5 seconds on iron and 0.4 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.

The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.

Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.5 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V
Hand	3 s	3 s	3 s
Wooden	1.5 s	0.25 s	0.15 s
Stone	0.75 s	0.25 s	0.1 s
Iron	0.5 s	0.2 s	0.1 s
Diamond	0.4 s	0.2 s	0.1 s
Netherite	0.35 s	0.2 s	0.1 s
Golden	0.25 s	0.15 s	0.1 s

Properties

Acacia Planks resists blasts at 3, which usually is not enough when something explodes nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. Flammable, at encouragement 5 and burn 20: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. An axe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.

Transparent: No
Required tool: Any
Flammable: Yes (5/20)
