Acacia Wood

Overview

Acacia Wood is one of the 18 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 Wood is the same shape in a different material.

Acacia Wood counts as a wooden block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Acacia Wood. Its hardness of 2 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.

Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 2 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64.

You make it with Acacia Log. 5 recipes call for it, including Acacia Planks, Campfire, Smoker and 2 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

Acacia Wood sits at hardness 2: 3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.

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

There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.

The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.5 times the unenchanted rate.

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 Wood has a blast resistance of 2, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. It is renewable, so one world can supply as much of it as you want. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 5, burn 5), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
