A '''log''' or '''stem''' is a naturally occurring block found in [[tree]]s or [[huge fungi]], primarily used as a building block and to create [[planks]], a versatile [[crafting]] ingredient. There are currently eleven types of logs, [[oak]], [[spruce]], [[birch]], [[Jungle tree|jungle]], [[acacia]], [[dark oak]], [[mangrove]], [[cherry blossom]], [[pale oak]], [[Huge fungus|crimson]], and [[Huge fungus|warped]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Logs and stems can be broken by hand, but using an [[axe]] is fastest. Logs and stems drop themselves when broken with any tool.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Log, Stem|sprite=Logs, Stem|Axe|link=none}}
=== Natural generation ===
All types of logs generate naturally as part of [[tree]]s, although [[Fallen tree|fallen trees]]{{Only|be}} can only contain oak, spruce, birch, or jungle. Additionally, one jungle log generates for each [[jungle bush]].
Stems generate naturally as part of [[huge fungi]].
{{BlockSprite|Oak Log}} Oak logs generate as part of:
* Plains [[village]]s
* [[Swamp hut]]s
* [[Mineshaft]]s
* [[Shipwreck]]s{{only|java}}
{{BlockSprite|Spruce Log}} Spruce logs generate as part of:
* [[Taiga]] and [[snowy plains]] villages

==== Further crafting ====
The following table presents the amount of logs or stems needed to produce an even multiple of a given item with no waste left over, and the quantity produced:
{| class="wikitable sortable collapsible" data-description="Creating wooden products with no waste"
! Product
! Number of logs or stems needed so that there are no redundant planks/sticks/... after crafting

== Issues ==
{{Issue list|log|stem|-chat|-server|-file}}
== Trivia ==
* In [[Bedrock Edition]], dark oak and acacia logs share a block ID separate from the old logs, called {{code|log2}}, because all the other data values on the previous log block were occupied by rotated variants ([[red sandstone]] [[slabs]] suffered a similar fate). There are still 8 remaining data values on the block that cannot be obtained. This was also the case in Java Edition prior to [[Java Edition 1.13|1.13]].
* Even if stems or their plank variants cannot be used as fuel or made into charcoal, the player can bypass this by crafting them into crafting tables or sticks, which can be used as a fuel.
* Crimson and warped stems are the only logs that have animated textures.
