A stripped log or stripped stem is a variant of the log and stem, obtained by using an axe on a log or a stem respectively. Once stripped, it cannot be reversed.

Obtaining

Breaking

Stripped logs and stems can be broken by hand, but using an axe speeds up the process. Stripped logs and stems drop themselves when broken with any tool.

Stripping

Using an axe on a log or stem turns it into a stripped log or a stripped stem.

Natural generation

Stripped oak, spruce, jungle, and dark oak logs can generate as masts in shipwrecks.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Oak

• Stripped oak logs can generate in plains villages.

Spruce

• Stripped spruce logs can generate in snowy plains villages.
• Stripped spruce logs can generate in abandoned camps.

Acacia

• Stripped acacia logs can generate as part of houses in savanna villages.
