    >dont say birch

    Camman18 has done irreversible damage to the building skills of children. That said, I fuck with mangrove

    Mangrove is such a pretty wood but I don’t use many blocks that complement it so I don’t use it much unfortunately (and it’s tree is hard to chop down and when you do finally manage that you get like 10 logs)

    Spruce and dark oak on the other hand are pretty versatile and look awesome when paired together (plus they’re easy enough to obtain)

    Spruce is the most versatile, but It really depends on the build. I’ve been using pale oak a lot recently.

    My preference in order

    1. Spruce
    2. Jungle
    3. Dark oak
    4. Acaica (logs over planks)
    5. Oak
    6. Anything I’m forgetting
    15. Birch

    Note: Haven’t really built with Pale Oak, so can’t really rank it

  5. Giant spruce trees strictly for number of logs and the fact that they grow straight up instead of branching out and being pains in the ass to chop down in full.

    I used to always use birch with dark oak. Or birch with diorite and leaves. I thought it looked really good + I liked lighter builds

    Nice dude I just started working on a build like that wit the raised walls

  8. I dont know about the best type. I’d probably call it the *easiest* type. All woods can look great of you got the mojo, I dont think any of them are *best*

    Farm them all, and use them all. Don’t limit yourself.

    That being said, I value all of them the same in terms of colors and textures and usability. The only actual difference to me are the doors and trapdoors since they are literally different, and my favorite trapdoor would be mangrove since its got a round hole, I like to put blocks behind it to make unnatural looking circles in my detailing sometimes lol. So for this small trapdoor preference, I guess my favorite wood is technically mangrove. But they’re all great and 100% usable with the right mindset.

    Birch and sandstone pair really well with spruce for accents. And old growth birch forests are one of the most beautiful biomes to walk through. Spruce is a great starting point for learning to build aesthetically rather than just functionally because the color is inoffensive and it works well in most styles, but try branching out a little. Pun not intended.

  10. Fav at the moment is dark Oak, but that’s because my resource pack makes it as light as spruce is in vanilla. And it contrasts well with spruce.

    But I use birch to line ceilings and I’ll probably keep using it for ceilings until concrete stairs and slabs introduced
