Usage

Planks can be used to build structures, craft ingredients, or as fuel for smelting. Crimson planks and warped planks, however, cannot be used as fuel.

Crafting ingredient

Planks are used in many different crafting recipes. Stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, pressure plates, buttons, signs, and boats must be crafted from planks of the same type, and the crafted result depends on the type used. For other products, planks of different types can be mixed freely and the wood types in the product is indeterminate. Crimson and warped planks cannot be used to make boats.

Fuel

Overworld planks can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block. Nether planks (crimson and warped planks) cannot be used as fuel, although they can be crafted into sticks or tools, which can be used as fuel.
