How to get pale oak wood in Minecraft
The pale oak wood in Minecraft is the latest variant of tree added to the ever-expanding universe of the game. Since its introduction in betas and snapshots, it has quickly become a fan favorite. Known for its unique shade, this block can be used for a variety of items such as doors, slabs, fences, and more — making it a popular choice for builders.
Here's everything you need to know about the pale oak wood in Minecraft.
What is the pale oak wood in Minecraft
The pale oak wood in Minecraft is the latest type of tree introduced to the game, found exclusively in the Pale Garden biome. While it is a type of dark oak, the tree's desaturated gray leaves and Pale Hanging Moss set this tree and the biome apart from the rest.
The pale oak naturally spawns in the Pale Garden, but you can also collect saplings to plant these trees in other parts of the world as well. These trees have a 10% chance of spawning a creaking heart — the source of the eerie creaking sound in Minecraft.
Some of the pale oak wood might also contain creaking hearts, which spawn the notorious creaking mob. This heart is also where resin is deposited when you attack the mob. So if you are looking to farm resin, the pale oak wood is the only tree that provides this resource.

"/locate biome minecraft: pale_garden"
Once you get there, harvest and collect the pale oak wood right away. Like other trees, you can break it by hand, but using an axe will speed up the process significantly. Here's how fast you can obtain the pale oak wood using different tiers of axes:
As with other trees, you can stack up to 64 units of pale oak logs in one inventory slot. Additionally, if you wish to farm these blocks, you can take the help of the newly introduced bundles in Minecraft to expand your available storage.
If you are heading to the Pale Garden at night, it is recommended that you carry enough protection since the creaking mob is relentless. Additionally, the lack of other living creatures or plants except the eyeblossoms makes it a tantalizing experience to witness after sundown.

Uses of the Pale Oak Wood in Minecraft
The pale oak wood in Minecraft can be used as a building block or placed on the crafting bench to get pale oak planks. These planks can be used to make a host of items such as stairs, trapdoors, slabs, fences, and more.
The unique white shade of the wood has made this block a popular choice for builders recently. They have come up with some of the most unique designs and builds using the block that give off a charming yet mysterious look, especially during the nighttime.
Additionally, the pale oak sapling can also be placed in a flower pot and used as a decorative item. The sapling is dropped when breaking the tree and can be placed in a flower pot by interacting with it. The gray color of the leaves sets it apart from other saplings, making it a great choice for players aiming for a spookier look.
