Maximize Planks from Bamboo

Understanding Bamboo Plank Ratios

This mod changes how bamboo converts to planks, giving you more building material per log compared to vanilla.

Crafting Planks Efficiently

From logs: Place 1 bamboo log in a crafting grid to receive 4 planks. This is the primary method and gives the best yield.

From bamboo stalks: If you have raw bamboo (the plant material), 4 bamboo stalks can be crafted into 1 plank. Use this only when you have excess stalks, as the ratio is poor.

Practical Tips

Always convert logs to planks rather than stalks—you'll get significantly more material. If you're building large structures, focus on harvesting mature bamboo for logs. A small bamboo farm will supply planks faster than traditional wood farms, making bamboo an excellent choice for large projects.
