Woods

Wood is a basic block harvested from Trees using an Axe. Normal, jungle, and corrupted trees all produce the same kind of wood. It is used in many crafting Recipes and it can also be placed as a normal block. Wood is one of the few blocks where the Inventory sprite is not a square. Unlike most blocks, placed wood must also be removed with an axe.

One method to farm wood with minimum effort is to place Mud and plant a long stretch of Jungle Grass in a convenient location. Jungle trees will grow automatically without the need for Acorns, unlike normal trees. However, keep in mind that the mini-jungle this creates can spawn Jungle-specific enemies such as Jungle Slimes and Jungle Bats which can be dangerous.

Another effective, though arguably illegitimate, way to collect wood is to create a new world and cut down the trees generated with it, then delete the world once its easily accessible natural resources are exhausted.
