Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Birch Wood is a wooden block. Birch Wood 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. It offers almost no protection from explosions (2 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Birch Log. Its main value is as a crafting ingredient: 5 recipes need it, Birch Planks, Campfire, Smoker and 2 more among them.
