Overview
Stripped Cherry 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.
Stripped Cherry Wood counts as a wooden block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Stripped Cherry 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 Stripped Cherry Log. 5 recipes call for it, including Campfire, Cherry Planks, Smoker and 2 more.
How long it takes to break
Stripped Cherry Wood sits at hardness 2: 3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron manages 0.5 seconds and diamond 0.4, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.5 times faster than the plain tool.
| 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
Stripped Cherry Wood has a blast resistance of 2, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. 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 block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
