The ubiquitous oak, found in most biomes (excluding deserts and icy tundras), offers versatile wood for planks, sticks, fences, and ladders. Oak trees yield apples, useful for early-game sustenance or golden apple crafting. Its neutral tone suits diverse builds, from rustic homes to cityscapes.
2. Birch:

Birch, with its light, patterned wood, thrives in birch forests and mixed biomes. Its stylish aesthetic lends itself to modern or minimalist designs. Birch pairs well with stone and glass, creating bright, airy interiors.
3. Spruce:

Dark spruce wood, harvested from taiga and snowy biomes, is ideal for gothic or grim structures. Its height presents a harvesting challenge but contributes a warm, robust feel to medieval castles, bridges, or country houses.
4. Jungle:

Jungle trees, towering giants of jungle biomes, boast bright wood primarily used for decoration. Their cocoa bean yield makes them valuable for cocoa farming. Jungle wood's exotic appearance suits adventure-themed or pirate builds.
5. Acacia:

Acacia's reddish hue complements desert biomes. Its unique, horizontally spreading branches in savannas create distinctive ethnic-style villages, desert bridges, or African-inspired structures.
6. Dark Oak:

Dark oak's rich, chocolate-brown wood is perfect for castles and medieval builds. Found only in Roofed Forests, it requires four saplings to plant. Its deep texture enhances luxurious interiors or grand doors.
7. Pale Oak:

A rare find in Pale Garden biomes, pale oak shares dark oak's texture but in gray tones. Its hanging moss and "skripcevina" (summoning aggressive "skripuns" at night) add unique elements. It contrasts beautifully with dark oak.
8. Mangrove:

A recent addition, mangrove wood, found in mangrove swamps, has a reddish-brown hue. Its roots are decorative elements. Mangrove wood authentically builds piers, bridges, or swamp-themed structures.
9. Warped:

One of the Nether's two wood types, warped wood's turquoise color creates unique fantasy builds. Its bright texture suits magic towers, mystical portals, or decorative gardens. Nether wood is non-flammable.
10. Crimson:

The Nether's other wood type, crimson wood's red-purple hue is ideal for dark or demonic themes. Its non-flammability is advantageous in hazardous environments. Crimson wood complements Nether-themed interiors.
11. Cherry:

Cherry trees, found in cherry grove biomes, feature unique falling-petal particles. Their bright pink wood creates atmospheric designs and unusual furniture.
12. Azalea:

Similar to oak but found above lush caves, azalea trees have a root system. Azalea wood is regular oak, but the flowering tree adds visual interest.
