Special Wood Types and Lumber Sets in Biomes O' Plenty

guide

Special wood types in Biomes O' Plenty introduce distinct lumber sets featuring unique color palettes, bark textures, and full building block suites across the mod's biomes. While vanilla Minecraft provides conventional forest timber, Biomes O' Plenty expands the architectural spectrum with trees that range from mystical pastel trunks to shadowy darkwoods and exotic extraterrestrial timber.

Magic and Umbran Forest Lumber

Two of the most prominent fantasy timbers in the mod cater to contrasting light and dark aesthetics:

Magic Wood: Harvested from Magic Log blocks found in mystical enchanted woodlands. Milling or crafting these logs yields vibrant pastel cyan-blue Magic Planks, which convert into Magic Slab, Magic Stairs, Magic Fence, Magic Fence Gate, Magic Door, Magic Trapdoor, and nautical craft like the Magic Boat. Peeling the bark with any axe creates Stripped Magic Log and Stripped Magic Wood.
Umbran Wood: Found growing in dense, shadowed coniferous groves and ominous woodland canopies. Chopping down an Umbran Log produces deep smoky charcoal-toned Umbran Planks. This dark lumber crafts into complete architectural fixtures including Umbran Door, Umbran Trapdoor, Umbran Fence, Umbran Fence Gate, Umbran Slab, Umbran Stairs, and water transport like the Umbran Boat. Stripping logs yields Stripped Umbran Log.

Empyreal Wood and End Island Canopies

Builders seeking celestial and golden construction materials must journey beyond the Overworld into the End dimension:

Empyreal Wood: Discovered exclusively within the alien End Wilds biome across the outer End islands from towering Empyreal Log trees. Processing this extraterrestrial timber yields bright golden-hued Empyreal Planks, capable of forming Empyreal Door, Empyreal Trapdoor, Empyreal Fence, Empyreal Fence Gate, Empyreal Slab, Empyreal Stairs, Empyreal Sign, Empyreal Hanging Sign, and Empyreal Boat. The logs can also be debarked into Stripped Empyreal Log and Stripped Empyreal Wood.

Coastal and Wetland Timber: Palm and Willow

Shoreline and wetland exploration unlocks distinct regional woods:

Palm Wood: Found along tropical coastlines, sandy beaches, and desert oasis shores. Chopping down towering coastal trees yields Palm Log, which crafts into pale tropical Palm Planks. This provides island builders with a full building kit including Palm Door, Palm Trapdoor, Palm Fence, Palm Fence Gate, Palm Slab, Palm Stairs, and the Palm Boat.
Willow Wood: Found across swampy marshlands and damp bayous. Harvesting Willow Log produces moss-tinted lumber in the form of Willow Planks. From this lumber, players can assemble Willow Door, Willow Trapdoor, Willow Fence, Willow Fence Gate, Willow Slab, Willow Stairs, and Willow Boat. Players can also collect hanging Willow Vine from the weeping canopies.

Arid and Weathered Timber: Dead Wood

For dilapidated builds, haunted houses, and desert ruins, the mod supplies weathered, leafless timber:

Dead Wood: Sourced from arid wastelands, parched bogs, and volcanic scrublands from weathered Dead Log blocks. The timber yields pale ash-grey Dead Planks that give structures an aged, desiccated aesthetic. Like living trees, it crafts into Dead Door, Dead Trapdoor, Dead Fence, Dead Fence Gate, Dead Slab, Dead Stairs, and Dead Boat.
