Well, as explained above that you can make charcoal from any wooden item. Wood or hyphae in Minecraft is a block which has the log’s bark texture on all six sides. It has 8 types including spruce, oak, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson and warped. There are also stripped wood or stripped hyphae which is a variant gained when any axe is used on wood or hyphae respectively.
Wood is able to be crafted out of four matching logs or stems. It yields three wood as a result. Wood is able to be used as a decorative block in place of normal logs or stems. Wood is able to be broken by hand. But, if you use an axe to break it, it can speed up the process.
