Ubiquitous except in deserts and icy tundras, oak wood's versatility makes it ideal for planks, sticks, fences, ladders, and more. Oak trees yield apples, a valuable early-game food source and golden apple component. Its neutral tone suits diverse builds, from rustic homes to cityscapes.
Birch

Spruce

Dark spruce wood lends itself to gothic or grim builds. Its height can make harvesting challenging. Common in taiga and snowy biomes, spruce wood's robust texture is well-suited for medieval castles, bridges, and country houses.
Jungle

Jungle trees, towering giants found only in jungles, boast a bright hue, often used decoratively. Their cocoa bean yield makes them crucial for cocoa farms. Jungle wood's exotic look is perfect for adventure-themed or pirate builds.
Acacia

Acacia wood's reddish tint is striking in desert biomes. Its unusual, horizontally spreading branches are found in savannas. It's excellent for ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, or African-inspired builds.
Dark Oak

Dark oak's rich, chocolate-brown shade makes it popular for castles and medieval structures. Found only in Roofed Forests, it requires four saplings to plant. Its deep texture is ideal for luxurious interiors or grand doors.
Pale Oak

A rare tree found only in Pale Gardens, pale oak mirrors dark oak's texture but in gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night) add unique elements. It pairs well with dark oak, offering contrasting colors.
Mangrove
