Their crafting method and some unique features set them apart from other woods. The possibilities are endless when it comes to using bamboo wood. But first, it’s time to figure out how to use bamboo wood in Minecraft.

As part of the Minecraft 1.20 update, players will have access to bamboo wood, the tenth type of wood in the game. It has a texture that looks very similar to real-world dried bamboo.

Bamboo Wood is only a craftable item which means you can get bamboo wood only by crafting from bamboo.
How to Make Or Craft Bamboo Wood in Minecraft?
The most basic element of any wood type is the plank block. From there the bamboo also starts. So let’s see the crafting recipe for new bamboo wooden blocks in Minecraft.
To make a bamboo plank block, you need to place four pieces of bamboo on the crafting table. The bamboo should form a 2 x 2 square (place them next to each other, as you can see above). Extending that logic, you can get 16 bamboo planks from a whole stack of bamboo (64 items).

Don’t forget, bamboo wood also has a set of exclusive blocks called bamboo mosaics. So let’s see how to make a bamboo mosaic in the next part.
What is Bamboo Mosaic in Minecraft?
A bamboo mosaic is a wooden building block that you can make using only bamboo. It functions like the other building blocks in the wood family but has a consistently wrapped texture. Now, let’s move on to the crafting of each bamboo mosaic block in Minecraft:
How to make Mosaic Block?
Step 1: Place three bamboo planks in the middle row (or any other row) so that six bamboo slabs are obtained.
Step 2: Now, place two bamboo slabs vertically anywhere in the crafting area (see image below). By doing that you will get the bamboo mosaic block.

Once you’ve crafted the bamboo mosaic blocks, place three of them on the same row of the crafting table to make the mosaic slab. The crafting recipe is similar to a standard bamboo slab, but now you get a new wooden pattern. And it would look great when creating a flooring or entryway for your house.

Not to forget, you can also take them a step further by making mosaic bamboo blocks.
