How to Get Spruce Log

Spruce Logs drop from spruce trees, which grow mainly in taiga biomes and also appear in snowy taiga, old growth taiga, snowy plains, and windswept forests. Any tool makes the log drop itself, but an axe chops fastest; spruce wood also generates in taiga and snowy plains villages and inside shipwrecks.

  1. Travel to a taiga or one of its colder variants and look for tall conifers with dark bark.
  2. Chop the trunk with an axe for speed; each block drops one Spruce Log regardless of the tool used.
  3. Plant four spruce saplings in a 2x2 square to grow a mega spruce with a thick trunk when you need bulk logs.

What Is Spruce Log Used For?

Spruce Planks

One Spruce Log crafts into 4 Spruce Planks, the dark brown boards behind most cabin-style builds.

Charcoal

Smelt a Spruce Log in a furnace for charcoal, a handy coal substitute in snowy regions.

Furnace

As fuel a Spruce Log smelts 1.5 items; turning it into planks first yields four times the operations.

Building and stripping

The dark bark reads as exposed timber for beams and cabins; strip a placed log with an axe for a cleaner brown tone.
