Wood

**Wood** or **hyphae** is a block that has the log's "bark" texture on all six sides. It comes in 8 types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson, and warped.

**Stripped wood** or **stripped hyphae** is a variant obtained when any axe is used on wood or hyphae respectively.

### Breaking

Wood and hyphae can be broken by hand, but using an axe speeds up the process.

### Natural generation

Stripped oak wood generates as lamp posts in plains villages.

Acacia wood and stripped acacia wood generate in savanna villages.

Stripped spruce wood generates in snowy tundra villages.

### Crafting

Wood or hyphae can be crafted out of four matching logs or stems, yielding three wood or hyphae as a result.

### Post-generation

#### Stripped wood and hyphae

Using an axe on wood or hyphae turns it into stripped wood or hyphae, which act the same as regular wood or hyphae.

## Usage

Wood or hyphae can be used as a decorative block in place of normal logs or stems.
