How to Make Acacia Planks in Minecraft
Acacia planks are a wood plank variant in Minecraft that you get by placing an acacia log in your crafting grid. They’re useful for building, furniture, and tools. One log gives you 4 planks, so they’re easy to get if you have access to acacia wood.
Crafting Recipe
You only need one item to craft acacia planks:
- 1 Acacia Log
Place the acacia log anywhere in your crafting grid and you’ll get 4 acacia planks. It doesn’t matter where you put it.
