This article is about loggable trees. For fruit trees, see Fruit Tree.

Obtaining

Trees generate naturally in the world as well as grow naturally from saplings. A sapling must be planted for a certain amount of in-game days depending on the type, and have at least a light level of 9 before there is a chance for it to sprout into a tree. What type of trees can spawn in an area depends on the climate and region.

Usage

Logs

Trees require the use of an axe to cut down. Chop the bottom-most log to fell the entire tree. If the axe does not have enough durability to fell the entire tree, as many logs as possible starting from the top of the tree will be chopped and the axe will break. Branches break and will drop sticks and occasionally poles. Leaves disappear, dropping nothing. Using a stone axe yields fewer logs than using a metal axe. Most trees generate with trunks made of small Logs but will rarely generate with Large Log variants. A few Trees only generate with small Log trunks or Large Log trunks.

Sticks & Saplings

In order to get sticks and saplings from leaves, they must be destroyed before cutting the tree down. Using a scythe makes stick gathering more efficient by destroying a 3x3x3 area of leaf blocks at once, centered at the broken block. Using the Scythe decreases the drop rate of sticks and saplings from 6% to 4%. Breaking leaf blocks is one of two ways to obtain sticks from trees, the other being crafting a log with any knife to make a pole, which can be crafted into 2 sticks.

Properties

Different trees have different properties, summarized by the following table. Some trees may be more desirable for specific purposes than others. For example, Baobab and Fever are very large and fast growing, making them an excellent choice to farm for making charcoal, Sticks burn cool enough to not melt Zinc or Lead for working into sheets for trap doors, and Oak or Peat burn the longest if you need to keep a fire going for cooking or smoking.
