The ubiquitous oak, found in most biomes (excluding deserts and icy tundras), provides versatile wood for planks, sticks, fences, and ladders. Oak trees yield apples, a valuable early-game food source and golden apple ingredient. Its neutral tone suits diverse building styles, from rustic cabins to modern cityscapes.

Birch

Birch, with its light-colored, patterned wood, thrives in birch forests and mixed biomes. Its clean aesthetic lends itself to modern and minimalist designs. Birch pairs beautifully with stone and glass, creating bright, airy interiors.

Spruce

Dark spruce wood, harvested from taiga and snowy biomes, is ideal for gothic and grim structures. Its height can present a harvesting challenge. Spruce's warm, robust texture is perfect for medieval castles, bridges, and country homes.

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but boasts a gray color. Its moss-covered trunk contains "skripcevina," summoning hostile "skripuns" at night. It complements dark oak beautifully.
