How to get an Acacia Log in Survival Mode

You can add an acacia log to your inventory in Survival mode by chopping down an acacia tree. So, let's get started!

1. Find an Acacia Tree

First, you need to find an acacia tree in your Minecraft world. Acacia trees are usually found in the Savanna biome.

2. Hold an Axe

Although you can use your hand to chop down an acacia tree, we prefer to use a tool such as an axe. These are the axes you can choose from.

In this example, we are going to use a diamond axe because it is a faster tool to chop down an acacia tree.
