Dark Oak Planks — Minecraft block

Overview

Dark Oak 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.

Dark Oak Planks counts as a wooden block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Dark Oak 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 Dark Oak Log.

It is an ingredient in 49 recipes, among them Barrel, Beehive, Black Bed and 46 more.

About the dark oak set

How long it takes to break

Dark Oak Planks has a hardness of 2. By hand that is 3 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.35 seconds.

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.

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

Dark Oak 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. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. Being renewable, it can be produced indefinitely in one world. Flammable, at encouragement 5 and burn 20: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. 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.
