Spruce Planks — Minecraft block

Overview

Spruce 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.

Spruce Planks is a wooden block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Spruce Planks is made at a crafting table. Hardness 2 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.

It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64. You make it with Spruce Log.

49 recipes call for it, including Barrel, Beehive, Black Bed and 46 more.

About the spruce set

How long it takes to break

Hardness 2 puts Spruce Planks at 3 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.35 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

Iron takes 0.5 seconds against diamond's 0.4, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.

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

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

With 3 blast resistance Spruce Planks usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. 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 fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.

Transparent: No
Required tool: Any
Flammable: Yes (5/20)
Renewable: Yes
Fuel value: 15 s
