Cherry planks arrive with the Trails and Tales update bringing a gentle pink hue that brightens both cozy cabins and modern interiors. Builders have fallen in love with the subtle warmth of this wood and how it pairs with greens, whites, and darker accents. It is not just color either the material carries practical properties that guide how players plan rooms and exteriors.
In gameplay terms cherry planks share their basics with other wood variants. They have a middle tier hardness and a solid drop when mined with an axe. They do not emit light and they do not bend light in dramatic ways which makes them ideal for floors and walls that want a clean even look 🧱
