Overview
Stripped Pale Oak 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 Pale Oak Wood counts as a wooden block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Stripped Pale Oak 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 Pale Oak Log. 5 recipes call for it, including Campfire, Pale Oak Planks, Smoker and 2 more.
How long it takes to break
Hardness 2 puts Stripped Pale Oak Wood at 3 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.35 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
Iron manages 0.5 seconds and diamond 0.4, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
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
Stripped Pale Oak 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.
