Wooden Beam

The Wooden Beam is a block added in the 1.1 patch. It's only purpose seems to be merely asthetic, in that it is, as the name suggests, a wooden beam block that can be placed like normal wood. However, the difference is unlike normal wood blocks, wooden beams can be walked passed, yet they are not a wall block. As such, they are chopped down with an axe, and not a hammer.
