Block of Bamboo

A block of bamboo is a log-like block made of bamboo that can be used to craft bamboo planks.

Breaking

A block of bamboo can be broken by hand, but using an axe speeds up the process.

Stripping

an axe on a block of bamboo turns it into a block of stripped bamboo.

Fuel

Blocks of bamboo can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block. The efficiency of using bamboo as fuel depends on how it is crafted. 9 bamboo can smelt 2.25 items, whereas a block can smelt only 1.5 items. However, the block can be crafted into 2 bamboo planks, which together can smelt 3 items. Unlike logs, blocks of bamboo cannot be smelted into charcoal.
