Create Vertical Planks for Accent Walls

What Vertical Planks Do

Vertical planks rotate the wood grain 90 degrees, creating a striped pattern that runs perpendicular to standard planks. This is ideal for creating accent walls, door frames, or breaking up large flat surfaces.

Crafting Vertical Planks

Place standard planks in a crafting grid to create their vertical variant. The exact arrangement follows the standard plank crafting pattern. You can craft vertical planks for any wood type in the game, including Crimson, Warped, Mangrove, and all other vanilla wood variants.

Building Tips

Mix vertical and horizontal planks on the same wall to add visual interest. Vertical planks work especially well as:

• Decorative borders around doorways and windows
• Alternating stripes with regular planks
• Structural beams that contrast with surrounding blocks
• Details on wooden roofs or overhangs

Since vertical planks use the same wood type as their source, they'll match your existing builds perfectly while adding texture variation without requiring multiple wood types.
