Woods

Wood is a common Block type used in crafting several Recipes. It can also be used to build structures, such as Houses. Wood is obtained by using an Axe or Chainsaw to break Trees. Different trees in different biomes produce different wood:

Jungle produces Rich Mahogany

Corruption produces Ebonwood

Crimson produces Shadewood

Hallowed produces Pearlwood

After placing wood by the player hitting it with a hammer results in different shapes to form: 1st hit: low platorm similar to wood platform

2nd hit: a right triangle with the slant towards the left

3rd hit: a right triangle with the slant towards the right

4th hit: back to regular wooden block

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 further maintenance, unlike normal trees, which require Acorns. However, keep in mind that the Jungle this creates can spawn Jungle enemies such as Jungle Slimes and Jungle Bats, which can be dangerous or annoying, depending on your defensive equipment.

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