Overview
Spruce Log 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 Log is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Spruce Log as a wooden block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 2 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
It drops as the same block you mined. With a blast resistance of only 2 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
6 recipes call for it, including Campfire, Smoker, Soul Campfire and 3 more.
About the spruce set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 2 puts Spruce Log at 3 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.35 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
An iron tool takes 0.5 seconds and a diamond one 0.4, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3.5 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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
Spruce Log resists blasts at 2, which is not enough to survive anything explosive 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. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 5, burn 5 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. 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.
