The ubiquitous oak, found in most biomes (excluding deserts and icy tundras), provides versatile wood for planks, sticks, fences, and ladders. Oak trees yield apples, a valuable early-game food source and golden apple ingredient. Its neutral tone suits diverse builds, from rustic homes to towering cityscapes.

Birch

Birch's light, patterned wood lends elegance to various structures. Found in birch forests and mixed biomes, it's a favorite for modern or minimalist designs. Its texture complements stone and glass, creating bright, airy interiors.

Spruce

Dark spruce wood evokes a gothic aesthetic. These tall trees, found in taiga and snowy biomes, present a slightly more challenging harvest. Spruce's robust texture is perfect for medieval castles, bridges, and country houses.

Jungle

Jungle's towering trees, exclusive to jungle biomes, offer bright wood primarily used for decoration. Cocoa beans grow on these trees, making them essential for cocoa farms. Their exotic appearance suits adventure-themed or pirate builds.

Acacia

This dark, chocolate-brown wood is a popular choice for castles and medieval constructions. Found only in Roofed Forests, it requires four saplings to plant. Its rich texture is perfect for luxurious interiors and grand doors.

Pale Oak

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but boasts a gray tone. Covered in pale moss and containing "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night), it contrasts beautifully with dark oak.

Mangrove
