Maximize Your Limited Wood Supply

Gather Carefully

Wood is your foundation for tools, crafting tables, and building. Break tree logs methodically, starting from the bottom and working upward. Position yourself so logs fall toward the center of your chunk, away from edges.

Prioritize Your First Crafting Table

Your first wood should go toward a crafting table. This unlocks recipes you can't make in your inventory, including sticks and planks in bulk. Place it in a central, protected location.

Plan Before You Build

Don't waste wood on decorative blocks early on. Focus on essential structures: a bed for sleeping, a furnace for smelting, and storage chests. Every plank counts.

Consider Renewable Sources

Once you have a crafting table and basic tools, prioritize growing saplings into new trees. Create a small farm area where you can replant and harvest sustainably. This becomes your long-term wood supply and prevents you from running out completely.
