Woods

Wood is a block used for crafting Recipes and building structures such as a house. You get wood by using an Axe on a Tree. All trees produce the same type of wood. 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.

Farming

 * See also: Guide:Gardening.

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 or annoying.

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.
