Where to find a Stripped Dark Oak Log in Creative Mode

How to get a Stripped Dark Oak Log in Survival Mode

You can add a stripped dark oak log to your inventory in Survival mode by stripping the bark from a dark oak log with an axe. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Dark Oak Tree

First, you need to find a dark oak tree in your Minecraft world. Dark oak trees are found in the Dark Forest. It is easy to spot a Dark Forest because of the large red and brown mushrooms towering through the dark oak trees.

Within the Dark Forest, you will find dark oak trees. Dark oak trees can only survive in very shady areas which is why you can only find them in these forested areas.

2. Hold an Axe

Next, you will need to select an axe in your hotbar. These are the axes you can choose from:

In this example, we are going to select a diamond axe.
